trailer: ignore comment lines inside the trailers

Otherwise trailers that are commented out might be
processed. We would also error out if the comment line
char is also a separator.

This means that comments inside a trailer block will
disappear, but that was already the case anyway.

trailer: display a trailer without its trailing newline

Trailers passed to the parse_trailer() function often have
a trailing newline. When erroring out, we should display
the invalid trailer properly, that means without any
trailing newline.

doc: add some crossrefs between manual pages

In particular, git-fast-import and -export link to each
other, and gitremote-helpers links to existing remote
helpers, and vice versa. Also link to fast-import from the
remote helper spec, as this is relevant for remote helpers
using the fast-import format.

SubmittingPatches: final submission is To: maintainer and CC: list

In an earlier part there is:

  "re-send it with "To:" set to the maintainer [*1*] and "cc:" the list [*2*]"

for the final submission, but later we see

  "Send it to the list and cc the maintainer."

Fix the later one to match the previous.

t5705: the file:// URL should be absolute

The test misused a URL "file://." to mean "relative to here",
which we no longer accept.

In a file:// URL, typically there is no host, and RFC1738 says that
file:///<path> should be used.

Update t5705 to use a working URL.

t3904: fix cut-and-paste typo in test description
tests: make patch-mode test failure more verbose

Previously, a failing test of verify_state would simply exit
non-zero, causing the test to fail. This meant that it was
difficult to know which file had different contents, or what
the difference was. Instead, build it around test_cmp, which
generally shows a diff on failure.
