If git-send-email is configured with sendemail.from, we will
not prompt the user for the "From" address of the emails.
If it is not configured, we prompt the user, but provide the
repo author or committer as a default. Even though we
probably have a sensible value for the default, the prompt
is a safety check in case git generated an incorrect
implicit ident string.
Now that Git.pm will tell us whether the ident is implicit or
explicit, we can stop prompting in the explicit case, saving
most users from having to see the prompt at all.
The test scripts need to be adjusted to not expect a prompt
for the sender, since they always have the author explicitly
defined in the environment. Unfortunately, we cannot
reliably test that prompting still happens in the implicit
case, as send-email will produce inconsistent results
depending on the machine config (if we cannot find a FQDN,
"git var" will barf, causing us to exit early; if we can,
send-email will continue but prompt).
