commit: add --trailer option

Historically, Git has supported the 'Signed-off-by' commit trailer using the '--signoff' and the '-s' option from the command line. But users may need to provide other trailer information from the command line such as "Helped-by", "Reported-by", "Mentored-by", Now implement a new `--trailer <token>[(=|:)<value>]` option to pass other trailers to `interpret-trailers` and insert them into commit messages.

171 + Specify a (<token>, <value>) pair that should be applied as a

173 + <committer@example.com>" --trailer "Helped-by:C O Mitter \

176 + The `trailer.*` configuration variables
177 + (linkgit:git-interpret-trailers[1]) can be used to define if
