trailer: add new .cmd config option
The `trailer.<token>.command` configuration variable specifies a command (run via the shell, so it does not have to be a single name or path to the command, but can be a shell script), and the first occurrence of substring $ARG is replaced with the value given to the `interpret-trailer` command for the token in a '--trailer <token>=<value>' argument. This has three downsides: * The use of $ARG in the mechanism misleads the users that the value is passed in the shell variable, and tempt them to use $ARG more than once, but that would not work, as the second and subsequent $ARG are not replaced. * Because $ARG is textually replaced without regard to the shell language syntax, even '$ARG' (inside a single-quote pair), which a user would expect to stay intact, would be replaced, and worse, if the value had an unmatched single quote (imagine a name like "O'Connor", substituted into NAME='$ARG' to make it NAME='O'Connor'), it would result in a broken command that is not syntactically correct (or worse). * The first occurrence of substring `$ARG` will be replaced with the empty string, in the command when the command is first called to add a trailer with the specified <token>. This is a bad design, the nature of automatic execution causes it to add a trailer that we don't expect. Introduce a new `trailer.<token>.cmd` configuration that takes higher precedence to deprecate and eventually remove `trailer.<token>.command`, which passes the value as an argument to the command. Instead of "$ARG", users can refer to the value as positional argument, $1, in their scripts. At the same time, in order to allow `git interpret-trailers` to better simulate the behavior of `git command -s`, 'trailer.<token>.cmd' will not automatically execute.
