[PATCHv4] send-email: Ask if a patch should be sent twice

[PATCHv4] send-email: Ask if a patch should be sent twice

[Dmitry Safonov]

I was almost certain that git won't let me send the same patch twice,
but today I've managed to double-send a directory by a mistake:
	git send-email --to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org /tmp/timens/
	    --cc 'Dmitry Safonov <0x7f454c46@gmail.com>' /tmp/timens/`

[I haven't noticed that I put the directory twice ^^]

Prevent this shipwreck from happening again by asking if a patch
is sent multiple times on purpose.

v4: Don't fail the test with GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=true
v3: Use `test_i18ngrep` instead of plain `grep`
v2: Moved the check under --validate,
    fixed tests,
    added a new test,
    updated documentation for --validate
