git-am has options to enable --message-id and --3way by default,
but no option to enable --signoff by default. Add a "am.signoff"
config option.

I'm not sure this is a good idea.  IANAL, but a sign-off
has some sort of legal meaning for this project (DCO)
and that would be better decided on a patch-by-patch basis
rather than a blanket statement.

I don't add my SoB to patches (either my own or received) until
I'm comfortable with it; and I'd rather err on the side of
forgetting and being prodded to resubmit rather than putting
an SoB on the wrong patch.

This is an interesting point. I am not competent to argue about
it, so I will let the Git developers decide.
