[PATCH 1/2] format-patch: use the diff options for the cover letter, too

Earlier, when you called "git format-patch --cover-letter -M", the diffstat in the cover letter would not inherit the "-M". Now it does.

While at it, add a few "|| break" statements in the test's loops; otherwise, breakages inside the loops would not be caught.
