[RFC/PATCH] pretty.c: %S format specifier for source ref

From: Michael J Gruber <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Currently, there is no way to combine --source with a format string for
log and friends.

Introduce a %S format specifier which outputs the source ref if --source
is given also. This is analogous to specfiers like %gs which are empty
unless used with -g.

Notes:
    I'm not sure whether it's worth introducing pretty_ctx.show_source to
    keep track of the use of --source. commit->util is possibly used by
    other codepaths also. Even without this patch, --cherry-pick --source
    does not work (in the sense that there is an empty source output) because
    of this.
    
    RFC obviously also so that I don't have to write doc and tests just yet :)
