The pretty formats for GPG signatures were introduced but never
documented. Use the documentation from the commit that introduced them.
Do the same for the --show-signature option added to git log and
friends.

Add log.abbrevCommit config variable as a convenience for users who
often use --abbrev-commit with git log and friends. Allow the option
to be overridden with --no-abbrev-commit. Per 635530a2fc and 4f62c2bc57,
the config variable is ignored when log is given "--pretty=raw".
(Also, a drive-by spelling correction in git log's short help.)

In "git help log" (and friends) it's not easy to find the possible
placeholder for <string> for the "--pretty=format:<string>" option
to git log.
This patch makes the placeholder easier to find by adding a reference
to the "PRETTY FORMATS" section and repeating the "format:<string>"
phrase.

With this patch, you can set notes.displayRef to a glob that points at
your favourite notes refs, e.g.,
[notes]
displayRef = refs/notes/*
Then git-log and friends will show notes from all trees.
Thanks to Junio C Hamano for lots of feedback, which greatly
influenced the design of the entire series and this commit in
particular.

Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and
"show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the
notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the
formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive.
Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and
only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the
command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes
and --no-notes option.
Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix.

Some people prefer to call the pretty-print styles "format", and get
annoyed to see "git log --format=short" fail. Introduce it as a synonym
to --pretty so that both can be used.

When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user may
want to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=<fmt>
option every time from the command line. This teaches these three
commands to honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty.
The --pretty option given from the command line will override the
configured format.
The earlier patch fixed the in-tree callers that run these commands
for purposes other than showing the output directly to the end user
(the only other in-tree caller is "git bisect visualize", whose output
directly goes to the end user and should be affected by this patch).
Similar fixes will be needed for end-user scripts that parse the
output from these commands and expect them to be in the default pretty
format.

Documentation taken from paraphrased description of "--abbrev[=<n>]"
diff option, and from description of commit 5c51c985 introducing
this option.
Note that to change number of digits one must use "--abbrev=<n>",
which affects [also] diff output.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

Split description of pretty formats into list of pretty options
(--pretty and --encoding) in new file Documentation/pretty-options.txt
and description of formats itself as a separate "PRETTY FORMATS"
section in pretty-formats.txt
While at it correct formatting a bit, to be better laid out in the
resulting manpages: git-rev-list(1), git-show(1), git-log(1) and
git-diff-tree(1). Those manpages now include pretty options in the
same place as it was before, and description of formats just after
all options.
Inspired by the split into two filesdocumentation for merge strategies:
Documentation/merge-options.txt and Documentation/merge-strategies.txt
