stash: learn to parse -m/--message like commit does

`git stash push -m foo` uses "foo" as the message for the stash. But `git stash push -m"foo"` does not parse successfully. Similarly `git stash push --message="My stash message"` also fails. Nothing in the documentation suggests this syntax should work, but it does work for `git commit`, and my fingers have learned this pattern long ago.

Teach `git stash` to parse -mFoo and --message=Foo the same as `git commit` would do.
