The following patch will introduce a new configuration variable,
"format.pretty", from then on the pretty format without specifying
"--pretty" might not be the default "--pretty=medium", it depends on
the user's config. So all kinds of Shell/Perl/Emacs scripts that needs
the default medium pretty format must specify it explicitly.

I think --pretty is enough and you do not have to say --pretty=medium, but
as long as we are being explicit, we'd better be fully explicit to future
proof them.
The list of in-tree users and places match what I found with my quick
review, which hopefully means both of us did our best effort to catch
potential breakages.
Thanks.
