builtin: patch-id: add --verbatim as a command mode

There are situations where the user might not want the default
setting where patch-id strips all whitespace. They might be working
in a language where white space is syntactically important, or they
might have CI testing that enforces strict whitespace linting. In
these cases, a whitespace change would result in the patch
fundamentally changing, and thus deserving of a different id.

Add a new mode that is exclusive of --stable and --unstable called
--verbatim. It also corresponds to the config
patchid.verbatim = true. In this mode, the stable algorithm is
used and whitespace is not stripped from the patch text.

Users of --unstable mainly care about compatibility with old git
versions, which unstripping the whitespace would break. Thus there
isn't a usecase for the combination of --verbatim and --unstable,
and we don't expose this so as to not add maintainence burden.
