format-patch is most commonly used for multiple patches at once when
sending a patchset, in which case we want to number the patches; on
the other hand, single patches are not usually expected to be
numbered.
In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.
Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do
so with the existing -N command-line switch. Users that want to
change the default behavior can use the format.numbering config key.

This patch makes two small changes to improve the output of --inline
and --attach.
The first is to write a newline preceding the boundary. This is needed because
MIME defines the encapsulation boundary as including the preceding CRLF (or in
this case, just LF), so we should be writing one. Without this, the last
newline in the pre-diff content is consumed instead.
The second change is to always write the line termination character
(default: newline) even when using --inline or --attach. This is simply to
improve the aesthetics of the resulting message. When using --inline an email
client should render the resulting message identically to the non-inline
version. And when using --attach this adds a blank line preceding the
attachment in the email, which is visually attractive.

Panagiotis Issaris reports that some MUAs seem not to like
folded "content-type" and "content-disposition" headers, so this
makes format-patch --attach output to avoid them.

The existing --attach option did not create a true "attachment"
but multipart/mixed with Content-Disposition: inline. It should
have been with Content-Disposition: attachment.
Introduce --inline to add multipart/mixed that is inlined, and
make --attach to create an attachement.
