[StGIT PATCH] allow --cc=myself to work again

commit cd74a041 filtered duplicate email addresses, especially with the --auto option.

However, it broke a common practice of cc'ing yourself on a patch. [nb, I don't do this myself, but there are several legit reasons]

This patch allows you to do something like:
	stg mail --to=<someaddr> --cc=<myaddr> --auto <patch>
Under my testing, with <myaddr> in the Signed-off-by: path:
	- we still do not send duplicates to <myaddr> (cd74a041 still holds)
	- we do not Cc: <myaddr> unless explicitly specified with --cc=

I believe this is the behaviour that closest matches what a user actually wants without sending multiple, annoying Cc:'s.
