The function switched between two operating modes depending on the
NULL-ness of its two parameters, as a hacky way to share small part
of implementation, sacrificing cleanliness of the API.

Implement "fmt_output_subject()" function that takes a subject
string and gives the name for the output file, and on top of it,
implement "fmt_output_commit()" function that takes a commit and
gives the name for the output file.

Most functions that emit to a strbuf take the strbuf as their first
parameter; make this function follow suit.

The serial number of the patch being emitted (nr) and suffix used
for patch filename (suffix) are both recorded in rev_info; drop
these separate parameters and pass the rev_info directly.

The get_patch_filename function expects a commit argument
and uses it to get the sanitized subject line when making a
patch filename. However, we also want to use this same
function for the cover letter, which does not have a commit
object. The current solution is to create a fake commit with
the subject "cover letter". Instead, let's make the
get_patch_filename interface more flexibile, and allow
passing a direct subject.

Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.

This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

Currently when format-patch is used with --attach or --inline the patch
attachment has the SHA1 of the commit for its filename.  This replaces
the SHA1 with the filename used by format-patch when outputting to
files.

Fix tests relying on the SHA1 output and add a test showing how the
--suffix option affects the attachment filename output.

We already support decorating commits by tags or branches that point to
them, but especially when we are looking at multiple branches together,
we sometimes want to see _how_ we reached a particular commit.

We can abuse the '->util' field in the commit to keep track of that as
we walk the commit lists, and get a reasonably useful view into which
branch or tag first reaches that commit.

Of course, if the commit is reachable through multiple sources (which is
common), our particular choice of "first" reachable is entirely random
and depends on the particular path we happened to follow.

log-tree.c is the ideal place for load_ref_decorations() and its
helper functions to live in, because the variable name_decoration
they're operating on is already located there, so move them thither.
