git-pull: add send-pull-request script

send-pull-request facilitates sending pull requests generated by
create-pull-request. The primary role of this script is to harvest email
addresses from the patches and send them out. A working installation of sendmail
(exim, postfix, msmtp, etc.) is required to use this script.

You can explicitly specify To addresses with the -t option. As this can be
tedious, the -a option will scan all the patches for To, CC, and *-by lines and
the collected addresses to the To and CC headers for each patch.

This script uses an identical recipients list for every patch, including the
cover letter. This is by design. Existing tools will auto-generate the CC header
for individual patches, but since they don't apply it to the other patches, the
recipients can lack the necessary context to provide a meaningful review. This
is especially true of the cover letter.

The pull directory generated by the create-pull-request script is specified
using the -p option.
