rev-list: add option for --pretty=format without header
In general, we encourage users to use plumbing commands, like git
rev-list, over porcelain commands, like git log, when scripting.
However, git rev-list has one glaring problem that prevents it from
being used in certain cases: when --pretty is used with a custom format,
it always prints out a line containing "commit" and the object ID.  This
makes it unsuitable for many scripting needs, and forces users to use
git log instead.

While we can't change this behavior for backwards compatibility, we can
add an option to suppress this behavior, so let's do so, and call it
"--no-commit-header".  Additionally, add the corresponding positive
option to switch it back on.

Note that this option doesn't affect the built-in formats, only custom
formats.  This is exactly the same behavior as users already have from
git log and is what most users will be used to.
