format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option
The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer: - Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified. As the default subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it "PATCH v2". - Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files. The cover letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2. This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds. The user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out the patches belonging to the second iteration easily.
