[PATCH] make git-send-email.perl handle email addresses with no names when Email::Valid is present

When using git-send-email.perl on a changeset that has:
	Cc: <stable@kernel.org>
in the body of the description, and the Email::Valid perl module is
installed on the system, the email address will be deemed "invalid" for
some reason (Email::Valid isn't smart enough to handle this?) and
complain and not send the address the email.

Anyway, this tiny patch fixes this problem for me. Note, my perl-foo is quite week, so this could probably be easily done in one line for those with better reg-ex skills.
