diff --stat: add config option to limit filename width
Add new configuration option diff.statNameWidth=<width> that is equivalent
to the command-line option --stat-name-width=<width>, but it is ignored
by format-patch. This follows the logic established by the already
existing configuration option diff.statGraphWidth=<width>.
Limiting the widths of names and graphs in the --stat output makes sense
for interactive work on wide terminals with many columns, hence the support
for these configuration options. They don't affect format-patch because
it already adheres to the traditional 80-column standard.
Update the documentation and add more tests to cover new configuration
option diff.statNameWidth=<width>. While there, perform a few minor code
and whitespace cleanups here and there, as spotted.
