Add a new option --suppress-cc, which can be specified one or more
times to list the categories of auto-cc fields that should be
suppressed.  If not specified, it defaults to values to give the same
behavior as specified by --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc.  The
categories are:

  self   - patch sender.  Same as --suppress-from.
  author - patch author.
  cc     - cc lines mentioned in the patch.
  cccmd  - avoid running the cccmd.
  sob    - signed off by lines.
  all    - all non-explicit recipients

Hi Dave,

It's great to see you're taking care of this issue, it's one that i've tripped over
a few times.  If your patch is accepted as-is, i think it's an improvement.

But i wonder about the case where a user has "sendemail.suppresscc = all" in their
~/.gitconfig.   For the occasion when they do want to cc the author of
a patch, what do they do?  The above UI seems to lack a way to enable a cc option
that has been disabled by default.

Cheers,
Sean
