From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@xxxxxxxxx>
Historically, Git has supported the 'Signed-off-by' commit trailer
using the '--signoff' and the '-s' option from the command line.
But users may need to provide other trailer information from the
command line such as "Helped-by", "Reported-by", "Mentored-by",
Now implement a new `--trailer <token>[(=|:)<value>]` option to pass
other trailers to `interpret-trailers` and insert them into commit
messages.

[GSOC] commit: add --trailer option
Now maintainers or developers can also use commit
--trailer="Signed-off-by:commiter<email>" from the command line to
provide trailers to commit messages. This solution may be more
generalized than v1.
