[PATCH] git-send-email: allow an email alias for --from

I don't like seeing all the output and confirming the From address
when I don't specify --from.  Since I have aliases for my own email
addresses, this is easier than always typing out the full address.

It also does what I would expect since every other email address can
be specified as an alias.  Why not From also?
