Add .git-blame-ignore-revs with reformat commits
This allows git blame to ignore reformatting changes and instead
to show the previous commit that changed the line.
To avoid manually building the list of commits this commit
adds a file with a list of reformatting commits. I might have
missed a few but this should be a good start. To use the file
use:
git blame --ignore-revs-file=.git-blame-ignore-revs file
or to automatically always use the file
git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
Naming the file .git-blame-ignore-revs is a convention.

Patch V2: Remove merge commit of the great formatting, add small
reminder how to use the feature at the top of the file
