[PATCH v5] ls-files: introduce "--format" option

["ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Add a new option --format that output index enties
informations with custom format, taking inspiration
from the option with the same name in the `git ls-tree`
command.

--format cannot used with -s, -o, -k, -t, --resolve-undo,
--deduplicate and --eol.

    ls-files: introduce "--format" options
    
    v4->v5:
    
     1. Let --format incompatible with -t.
     2. Fix %(eolinfo) and %(eolattr) docs suggested by Junio.
    
    Looking forward to Ævar's reviewing.

+It is possible to print in a custom format by using the `--format`
+option, which is able to interpolate different fields using
+a `%(fieldname)` notation. For example, if you only care about the
+"objectname" and "path" fields, you can execute with a specific
+"--format" like
+
+	git ls-files --format='%(objectname) %(path)'
+
+FIELD NAMES
+-----------
+Various values from structured fields can be used to interpolate
+into the resulting output. For each outputting line, the following
+names can be used:
+
+objectmode::
+	The mode of the file which is recorded in the index.
+objectname::
+	The name of the file which is recorded in the index.
+stage::
+	The stage of the file which is recorded in the index.
+eolinfo:index::
+eolinfo:worktree::
+	The <eolinfo> (see the description of the `--eol` option) of
+	the contents in the index or in the worktree for the path.
+eolattr::
+	The <eolattr> (see the description of the `--eol` option)
+	that applies to the path.
+path::
+	The pathname of the file which is recorded in the index.
