format-patch: assume --cover-letter for diff in multi-patch series
When we deal with a multi-patch series in git-format-patch(1), if we see
`--interdiff` or `--range-diff` but no `--cover-letter`, we return with
an error, saying:
fatal: --range-diff requires --cover-letter or single patch
or:
fatal: --interdiff requires --cover-letter or single patch
This makes sense because the cover-letter is where we place the diff
from the previous version.
However, considering that `format-patch` generates a multi-patch as
needed, let's adopt a similar "cover as necessary" approach when using
`--interdiff` or `--range-diff`.
Therefore, relax the requirement for an explicit `--cover-letter` in a
multi-patch series when the user says `--iterdiff` or `--range-diff`.
Still, if only to return the error, respect "format.coverLetter=no" and
`--no-cover-letter`.
