doc: preparatory clean-up of description on the sign-off option
Almost identical text on the signed-off-by trailer appears in the
documentation for "git commit" and "git merge" and its friends.
Introduce a new signoff-option.txt file to be shared. A couple of
things of note are:
- The short-form "-s" is available only in "git commit", but not in
commands that are friends of "git merge", as it is used as a
short-hand for "--strategy".
- The original lacks description on the negated "--no-signoff" form
on "git commit" side, but it equally is applicable. It however
was unclear in the original text that not adding a Signed-off-by
trailer is the default, so rephrase to explain it as a way to
countermand a --signoff option that appeared earlier on the same
command line.
This is in preparation to apply a further clarification on what
exactly the Signed-off-by trailer means.
