diff --stat: add config option to limit graph width
Config option diff.statGraphWidth=<width> is equivalent to --stat-graph-width=<width>, except that the config option is ignored by format-patch. For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen 'automatically' once configured, hence the config option. Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch, which adheres to the 80-column standard.

+ a stat graph) or by setting `diff.statGraphWidth=<width>`

By giving a third parameter `<count>`, you can limit the
output to the first `<count>` lines, followed by `...` if
there are more.
