pretty format %(trailers): add a "keyonly"

Add support for a "keyonly". This allows for easier parsing out of the
key and value. Before if you didn't want to make assumptions about how
the key was formatted. You'd need to parse it out as e.g.:

    --pretty=format:'%H%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00)' \
                       '%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,valueonly)'

And then proceed to deduce keys by looking at those two and
subtracting the value plus the hardcoded ": " separator from the
non-valueonly %(trailers) line. Now it's possible to simply do:

    --pretty=format:'%H%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,keyonly)' \
                    '%x00%(trailers:separator=%x00%x00,valueonly)'

Which at least reduces it to a state machine where you get N keys and
correlate them with N values. Even better would be to have a way to
change the ": " delimiter to something easily machine-readable (a key
might contain ": " too). A follow-up change will add support for that.

I don't really have a use-case for just "keyonly" myself. I suppose it
would be useful in some cases as "key=*" matches case-insensitively,
so a plain "keyonly" will give you the variants of the keys you
matched. I'm mainly adding it to fix the inconsistency with
"valueonly".
