format-patch: run range-diff with larger creation-factor
We see too often that a range-diff added to format-patch output
shows too many "unmatched" patches. This is because the default
value for creation-factor is set to a relatively low value.
It may be justified for other uses (like you have a yet-to-be-sent
new iteration of your series, and compare it against the 'seen'
branch that has an older iteration, probably with the '--left-only'
option, to pick out only your patches while ignoring the others) of
"range-diff" command, but when the command is run as part of the
format-patch, the user _knows_ and expects that the patches in the
old and the new iterations roughly correspond to each other, so we
can and should use a much higher default.
