Currently, format-patch --thread --cover-letter --in-reply-to $parent
makes all mails, including the cover letter, a reply to $parent.
However, we would want the reader to consider the cover letter above
all the patches.
This changes the semantics so that only the cover letter is a reply to
$parent, while all the patches are formatted as replies to the cover
letter.

t4014 tests format-patch --thread since 7d812145, but the tests were
ineffective right from the start at least for bash and dash. The
loops of the form
for ...; do something || break; done
introduced by 7d812145 and 5d02294 always exit with status 0, even if
'something' failed, because 'break' returns 0 unless there was no loop
to break.
We take a rather different approach that uses an admittedly heinous
inline Perl script to mangle all interesting information into a format
that is invariant between runs. We can then test the full patch
sequence in one go (with --stdout), doing away with the loop problem.

Without any explicit -o parameter, we correctly avoided putting the
resulting patch output to the toplevel. We should do the same when
the user gave a relative pathname to be consistent with this case.
Noticed by Cesar Eduardo Barros.

Previously, running "git format-patch -U5" would cause the
low-level diff machinery to change the diff output format
from "not specified" to "patch". This meant that
format-patch thought we explicitly specified a diff output
format, and would not use the default format. The resulting
message lacked both the diffstat and the summary, as well as
the separating "---".
Now format-patch explicitly checks for this condition and
uses the default. That means that "git format-patch -p" will
now have the "-p" ignored.

These violations are simply wrong, but were never caught
because whitespace policy checking is turned off in the test

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

Earlier, overly-long onelines would not be wrapped at all, and indented
with 6 spaces.
Instead, we now wrap around at 72 characters, with a first-line indent
of 2 spaces, and the rest with 4 spaces.

Earlier, when you called "git format-patch --cover-letter -M", the
diffstat in the cover letter would not inherit the "-M". Now it does.
While at it, add a few "|| break" statements in the test's loops;
otherwise, breakages inside the loops would not be caught.

t4014 test used GNU extension 'Q' in its sed scripts, but the
uses can safely be replaced with 'q'. Among other platforms,
sed on Mac OS X 10.4 does not accept the former.

When you have particular reviewers you want to sent particular series
to, it's nice to be able to generate the whole series with them as
additional recipients, without configuring them into your general
headers or adding them by hand afterwards.

RFC 2822 only permits a single To: header and a single Cc: header, so
we need to turn multiple values of each of these into a list. This
will be particularly significant with a command-line option to add Cc:
headers, where the user can't make sure to configure valid header sets
in any easy way.

Presently, it works with each header ending with a newline, but not
without the newlines.
Also add a test to see that multiple "To:" headers get combined.
