If `format.useAutoBase = true`, there was no way to override this from
the command-line. Teach format-patch the `--no-base` option which
overrides `format.useAutoBase`.

Clearing the global variable base_auto feels unclean to me, as does the
introduction of a callback for that purpose.  Why not set base_commit
after reading the config and before parsing command line options to
reflect base_auto?  That would achieve the intended precedence in a
simpler way, something like this:
