The "-m" and "-F" options are already the established method
(in both git-commit and git-tag) to specify a commit/tag message
without invoking the editor. This patch teaches "git notes edit"
to respect the same options for specifying a notes message without
invoking the editor.
Multiple "-m" and/or "-F" options are concatenated as separate
paragraphs.
The patch also updates the "git notes" documentation and adds
selftests for the new functionality.

Here's a second version that merges the messages.

No, I haven't checked this at all, so you're probably right. This second
version of the patch does not use "-n".
Note that I changed the selftest to test the -m/-F merge behaviour.
This causes the expected output to have a couple of lines with 4 trailing
spaces. I know that trailing spaces is frowned upon on this list, but I'm
hoping these'll make it through, as the test needs them...
Have fun! :)
