pretty: support normalization options for %(trailers)
The interpret-trailers command recently learned some options to make its output easier to parse (for a caller whose only interested in picking out the trailer values). But it's not very efficient for asking for the trailers of many commits in a single invocation. We already have "%(trailers)" to do that, but it doesn't know about unfolding or omitting non-trailers. Let's plumb those options through, so you can have the best of both. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
