format-patch: add "--signature-file=<file>" option
Add an option to format-patch for reading a signature from a file.
$ git format-patch -1 --signature-file=$HOME/.signature
The config variable `format.signaturefile` can also be used to make
this the default.
$ git config format.signaturefile $HOME/.signature
$ git format-patch -1
