interpret-trailers: add option for in-place editing
Add a command line option --in-place to support in-place editing akin to
sed -i. This allows to write commands like the following:
git interpret-trailers --trailer "X: Y" a.txt > b.txt && mv b.txt a.txt
in a more concise way:
git interpret-trailers --trailer "X: Y" --in-place a.txt
