trailer: add new .cmd config option

The `trailer.<token>.command` configuration variable
specifies a command (run via the shell, so it does not have
to be a single name or path to the command, but can be a
shell script), and the first occurrence of substring $ARG is
replaced with the value given to the `interpret-trailer`
command for the token in a '--trailer <token>=<value>' argument.

This has three downsides:

* The use of $ARG in the mechanism misleads the users that
the value is passed in the shell variable, and tempt them
to use $ARG more than once, but that would not work, as
the second and subsequent $ARG are not replaced.

* Because $ARG is textually replaced without regard to the
shell language syntax, even '$ARG' (inside a single-quote
pair), which a user would expect to stay intact, would be
replaced, and worse, if the value had an unmatched single
quote (imagine a name like "O'Connor", substituted into
NAME='$ARG' to make it NAME='O'Connor'), it would result in
a broken command that is not syntactically correct (or
worse).

* The first occurrence of substring `$ARG` will be replaced
with the empty string, in the command when the command is
first called to add a trailer with the specified <token>.
This is a bad design, the nature of automatic execution
causes it to add a trailer that we don't expect.

Introduce a new `trailer.<token>.cmd` configuration that
takes higher precedence to deprecate and eventually remove
`trailer.<token>.command`, which passes the value as an
argument to the command.  Instead of "$ARG", users can
refer to the value as positional argument, $1, in their
scripts. At the same time, in order to allow
`git interpret-trailers` to better simulate the behavior
of `git command -s`, 'trailer.<token>.cmd' will not
automatically execute.
