format-patch: "--rfc=-(WIP)" appends to produce [PATCH (WIP)]
In the previous step, the "--rfc" option of "format-patch" learned to take an optional string value to prepend to the subject prefix, so that --rfc=WIP can give "[WIP PATCH]". There may be cases in which the extra string wants to come after the subject prefix. Extend the mechanism to allow "--rfc=-(WIP)" [*] to signal that the extra string is to be appended instead of getting prepended, resulting in "[PATCH (WIP)]". In the documentation, discourage (ab)using "--rfc=-RFC" to say "[PATCH RFC]" just to be different, when "[RFC PATCH]" is the norm. [Footnote] * The syntax takes inspiration from Perl's open syntax that opens pipes "open fh, '|-', 'cmd'", where the dash signals "the other stuff comes here".
