When encryption=tls and smtp cannot connect, git-send-email prints following perl error:
Can't call method "command" on an undefined value at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 927.

(ithis is when smtp host orport is misspelled, or network is down, and encryption is tls). We expect some familiar "Cannot connect to SERVER:PORT" message. Fix it to print normal "smtp can't connect" diagnostics.
