format-patch: add arbitrary email headers

format-patch supports the format.headers configuration for adding
arbitrary email headers to the patches it outputs.  This patch adds
support for an --add-header argument which makes the same feature
available from the command line.  This is useful when the content of
custom email headers must change from branch to branch.
