Pass output through the pager if format-patch is run with --stdout. This saves the user the trouble of running git with '-p' or piping through a pager. setup_pager() already checks if stdout is a tty, so we don't have to worry about behaviour if the user redirects/pipes stdout. Paging can also be disabled with the config [pager] format-patch = false Add tests to check for these behaviour.
