builtin: patch-id: add --verbatim as a command mode

There are situations where the user might not want the default
setting where patch-id strips all whitespace. They might be working
in a language where white space is syntactically important, or they
might have CI testing that enforces strict whitespace linting. In
these cases, a whitespace change would result in the patch
fundamentally changing, and thus deserving of a different id.

Add a new mode that is exclusive of --stable and --unstable called
--verbatim. It also corresponds to the config
patchid.verbatim = true. In this mode, the stable algorithm is
used and whitespace is not stripped from the patch text.

Users of --unstable mainly care about compatibility with old git
versions, which unstripping the whitespace would break. Thus there
isn't a usecase for the combination of --verbatim and --unstable,
and we don't expose this so as to not add maintainence burden.

SYNOPSIS

'git patch-id' [--stable | --unstable]
'git patch-id' [--stable | --unstable | --verbatim]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Read a patch from the standard input and compute the patch ID for it.
A "patch ID" is nothing but a sum of SHA-1 of the file diffs associated with a
patch, with whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably
stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, i.e., two patches that
have the same "patch ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same thing.

IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.
The main usecase for this command is to look for likely duplicate commits.

--verbatim::
Calculate the patch-id of the input as it is given, do not strip

This is the default if patchid.verbatim is true.
--stable::
Use a "stable" sum of hashes as the patch ID. With this option:

Use an "unstable" hash as the patch ID. With this option,
the result produced is compatible with the patch-id value produced
by git 1.9 and older. Users with pre-existing databases storing
