send-email: restore --in-reply-to superseding behavior
git send-email --in-reply-to= fails to override In-Reply-To email headers,
if they're present in the output of format-patch, even when explicitly
told to do so by the option --no-thread, which breaks the contract of the
command line switch option, per its man page.
"
--in-reply-to=<identifier>
Make the first mail (or all the mails with --no-thread) appear as
a reply to the given Message-Id, which avoids breaking threads to
provide a new patch series.
"
This patch fixes the aformentioned issue, by bringing --in-reply-to's old
overriding behavior back.
The test was donated by Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón.
