When using git-send-email with SMTP authentication sending a patch series would redundantly authenticate multiple times, once for each patch. In the worst case, this would actually prevent the series from being sent because the server would reply with a "5.5.0 Already Authenticated" status code which would derail the process. This commit teaches git-send-email to authenticate once and only once at the beginning of the series.
