Linus noticed that the recently reimplementated "git am -s" defines
the trailer block too rigidly, resulting an unnecessary blank line
between the existing sign-offs and his new sign-off.  An e-mail
submission sent to Linus in real life ends with mixture of sign-offs
and commentaries, e.g.

        title here

        patch here

Because the reimplementation reused append_signoff() helper that is
used by other codepaths, which is unaware that people intermix such
comments with their sign-offs in the trailer block, such a message
was judged to end with a non-trailer, resulting in an extra blank
before adding a new sign-off.

The original scripted version of "git am" used a lot looser
definition, i.e. "if and only if there is no line that begins with
Signed-off-by:, add a blank line before adding a new sign-off".  For
the upcoming release, stop using the append_signoff() in "git am"
and reimplement the looser definition used by the scripted version
to use only in "git am" to fix this regression in "am" while
avoiding new regressions to other users of append_signoff().

In the longer term, we should look into loosening append_signoff()
so that other codepaths that add a new sign-off behave the same way
as "git am -s", but that is a task for post-release.

 * So this is essentially that "third try", but with a bit of test
   to cast in stone that we expect things that are not "key: value"
   in the trailer block.  Let's have this (or a fix along this line)
   as a regression fix for the upcoming release.
