send-email docs: add format-patch options
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). Signed-off-by: Thiago Perrotta <tbperrotta@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
