[PATCH v8 2/2] send-email docs: add format-patch options

From: Thiago Perrotta <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-25 21:27:27
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

git-send-email(1) does not mention that "git format-patch" options are
accepted. Augment SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION to mention it.

Update git-send-email.perl USAGE to be consistent with
git-send-email(1).
