Add message_id and ref_message_id fields to struct rev_info, used in show_log
with CMIT_FMT_EMAIL to set Message-Id and In-Reply-To/References respectively.
Use these in git-format-patch to make the second and subsequent patch mails
replies to the first patch mail.

Resend of previous patch as part of new patch series.

While I understand what you said about imap-send, I really would
feel better if this was optional.  Do not change the default
output format, please.

So rather than the --no-thread option provided in the second patch of
this series, you'd prefer a --thread option to enable setting the
In-Reply-To/References headers?

Note that I based the direction of the --no-thread switch on
git-send-email's inclusion of these headers by default with no way to
turn them off, figuring that having an option to do so gave it an
advantage over git-send-email while remaining consistent with it.  I
also figured that most people would not mess with the defaults, and thus
the default should make a patch series more readable on mailing lists.
