[v5,00/10] Long names for `git log -S` and `git log -G`

Message

Rebased v4 [1] on top of `master`.
I've accidentally published v4 based on `next`.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/[e-mail]/

Other than the rebase, it is identical to v4, details below.

Split the big change from v3 [1] into multiple, mostly independent patches, to
make it easier to review and merge each one separately.

Patches 1 through 4 are fixing minor bugs and inconsistencies.

Patch 5 contains updates gitdiffcore to use same placeholder names as the rest
of the code.

Patch 6 contains a minimum change to add long versions of -S and -G.

Patch 7 adds bash completion support.

Patches 8 through 10 increase usage of the long argument versions in tests, CLI
help and docs respectively.

Please, let me know if you prefer it split in a different way, or reorder the
changes.
