format-patch: add --creation-factor tweak for --range-diff

When generating a range-diff, matching up commits between two version of
a patch series involves heuristics, thus may give unexpected results.
git-range-diff allows tweaking the heuristic via --creation-factor.
Follow suit by accepting --creation-factor in combination with
--range-diff when generating a range-diff for a cover-letter.

--creation-factor=<percent>::
Used with `--range-diff`, tweak the heuristic which matches up commits
between the previous and current series of patches by adjusting the
creation/deletion cost fudge factor. See linkgit:git-range-diff[1])
for details.
--notes[=<ref>]::
Append the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) for the commit
after the three-dash line.
