[PATCH] format-patch: Add --rfc for the common case of [RFC PATCH]

This provides a shorter and more convenient alias for --subject-prefix='RFC PATCH'.

Add a test covering --rfc.

By far, the most common subject-prefix I've seen other than "PATCH" is "RFC PATCH" (or occasionally "PATCH RFC"). Seems worth optimizing for the common case, to avoid having to spell it out the long way as --subject-prefix='RFC PATCH'.
