Mirko Faina 0284046ad0 format-patch: removing unconditional wrapping
Using format-patch with --commit-list-format different than shortlog,
causes the commit entry lines to wrap if they get longer than
MAIL_DEFAULT_WRAP (72 characters).

While this might be sensible for many when sending changes through
email, it forces this decision of wrapping on the user, reducing the
control granularity of --commit-list-format.

Teach generate_commit_list_cover() to respect commit entry line lengths
and place this wrapping rule on the "modern" preset format instead.
