format-patch: add --interdiff option to embed diff in cover letter
When submitting a revised version of a patch series, it can be helpful
(to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous
attempt in the form of an interdiff, however, doing so involves manually
copy/pasting the diff into the cover letter.
Add an --interdiff option to automate this process. The argument to
--interdiff specifies the tip of the previous attempt against which to
generate the interdiff. For example:
git format-patch --cover-letter --interdiff=v1 -3 v2
The previous attempt and the patch series being formatted must share a
common base.
