Short status ignores --show-stash option

From: janek <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-15 20:03:55

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
git status --short --show-stash --branch

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
The status shows info about the stash, e.g. next to the branch infos

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
--show-stash is ignored when using short format

Hmm. It's certainly possible to do something like:
diff --git a/wt-status.c b/wt-status.c
index 0c8287a023..397d36544d 100644
--- a/wt-status.c
+++ b/wt-status.c

 static void wt_porcelain_print(struct wt_status *s)
and that would cause 'git status' to do what you expect:

    $ git.compile status --short --branch --show-stash
    ## tb/empty-trailer-continuation
     M wt-status.c
     Your stash currently has 16 entries

But it may not be the right thing to do, since that explicitly breaks
the --porcelain format. We may want something like this in addition to
the above:

I think ideally we'd define a porcelain format for it, since v2 has
explicit support for extending with new headers. Something like:

  # stash.number 16

would probably work. I don't think it's _strictly_ necessary, in that
the die() above does not paint us into a corner. We can always loosen it
later. But it is easy enough that it probably makes sense to just define
it while we are here.

And in particular, I think we may want to mimic it for --short, rather
than just showing the "long" output, which IMHO is kind of dissonant in
terms of the formatting (though again, we reserve the right to change
--short, so I don't think we've painted ourselves into a corner).
