[PATCH v4 6/7] cherry-pick: add a no-op --no-ff option to future proof scripts

[Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>]

A --ff option to allow "git cherry-pick" to fast forward if
possible was added in a previous patch, and this behavior may
become the default one in the future.

So to future proof scripts that may rely on the current behavior
it is safer to add a --no-ff option to make sure that the current
behavior will be used.
