improve reflog date/number heuristic

When we show a reflog, we have two ways of naming the entry:
by sequence number (e.g., HEAD@{0}) or by date (e.g.,
HEAD@{10 minutes ago}). There is no explicit option to set
one or the other, but we guess based on whether or not the
user has provided us with a date format, showing them the
date version if they have done so, and the sequence number
otherwise.

This usually made sense if the use did something like "git
log -g --date=relative". However, it didn't make much sense
if the user set the date format using the log.date config
variable; in that case, all of their reflogs would end up as
dates.

This patch records the source of the date format and only
triggers the date-based view if --date= was given on the
command line.
