We can pass -o/--output-directory to the format-patch command to
store patches not in the working directory. This patch introduces
format.outputDirectory configuration option for same purpose.
The case of usage of this configuration option can be convinience
to not pass everytime -o/--output-directory if an user has pattern
to store all patches in the /patches directory for example.
The format.outputDirectory has lower priority than command line
option, so if user will set format.outputDirectory and pass the
command line option, a result will be stored in a directory that
passed to command line option.
