[PATCH v2 0/3] notes.c: introduce "--blank-line" option

[Teng Long <dyroneteng@gmail.com>]

From: Teng Long <dyroneteng@gmail.com>

Diff from RFC Patch v1:

* optimize the commit-msg and docs of introducing new "--blank-line" option.

* drop unreachable code in "append_edit()". Ævar found that some code has been
unreachable in patch v1. I think it's because, after the commit "notes.c: fixed
tip when target and append note are both empty", for example in this patch, the
situation of "removing an existing note" should be impossible unless a BUG when
trying to do append. The tests are passed, but I'm not sure I fully understand
the original design.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason and Phillip Wood for
the help in v1.

    +    notes.c: introduce "--blank-line" option
     
         When appending to a given object which has note and if the appended
         note is not empty too, we will insert a blank line at first. The
         blank line serves as a split line, but sometimes we just want to
    -    omit it then append on the heels of the target note.
    +    omit it then append on the heels of the target note. So, we add
    +    a new "OPT_BOOL()" option to determain whether a new blank line
    +    is insert at first.
