Taylor Blau proposing `git format-patch --cover-letter
--range-diff` may mistakenly place upstream commit in the
range-diff output. Teach `format-patch` pass `--left-only`
to range-diff,can avoid this kind of mistake.

    [GSOC][RFC] format-patch: pass --left-only to range-diff
    
    With the help of Taylor Blau, I understood why the upstream commit
    appeared in the range-diff, and completed the writing of the test.
    
    this want to fix #876 Thanks.

This logic starts getting difficult to reason about. It would be
easier to understand if written like this:

    if (!rdiff_prev) {
        if (creation_factor >= 0)
            die(_("--creation-factor requires --range-diff"));
        if (left_only)
            die(_("--left-only requires --range-diff"));
    }

    if (creation_factor < 0)
        creation_factor = RANGE_DIFF_..._DEFAULT;

or this (which reduces the indentation a bit):

    if (creation_factor >= 0 && !rdiff_prev)
        die(_("--creation-factor requires --range-diff"));
    if (left_only && !rdiff_prev)
        die(_("--left-only requires --range-diff"));

    if (creation_factor < 0)
        creation_factor = RANGE_DIFF_..._DEFAULT;

Subjective; not necessarily worth a re-roll.

Nit: This indentation looks odd. One would expect `origin` and
`left_only` to have the same indentation.

Nit: One blank line before test_done() is typical, not two.

Thanks for the reminder.
I'm going to modify these format errors.
