log: add "log.follow" configuration variable
People who work on projects with mostly linear history with frequent
whole file renames may want to always use "git log --follow" when
inspecting the life of the content that live in a single path.
Teach the command to behave as if "--follow" was given from the
command line when log.follow configuration variable is set *and*
there is one (and only one) path on the command line.
