These options are useful to experiment with "git interpret-trailers"
without having to tinker with .gitconfig (Junio said git should ahve
done this first and only added configuration afterwards).  It can
be useful in the case where you want a different placement for the trailer,
or for scripts/aliases that don't want to rely on specific .gitconfig
settings.

Compared to v2, the main change is that option order on the command-line
is respected.  That is,

	--trailer 'acked-by: foo' --where end --trailer 'signed-off-by: me'

will only apply where=end to the second trailer.  Likewise,

	--where end --trailer 'signed-off-by: me' --no-where \
	--trailer 'acked-by: foo'

will only apply it to the first, reverting to trailer.*.where for the
"acked-by" trailer.

Junio, I see you haven't yet applied this v4 to origin/pu, did you miss it?

Thanks for pinging.  Either it was not noticed by mistake or was
deliberately ignored during the pre-release freeze, I do not
remember.
