[PATCH v2 3/3] send-email: also pick up cc addresses from -by trailers

When rerolling a patch series, including various Reviewed-by etc. that may have come in, it is quite convenient to have git-send-email automatically cc those people.

So pick up any *-by lines, with a new suppression category 'misc-by', but special-case Signed-off-by, since that already has its own suppression category. It seems natural to make 'misc-by' implied by 'body'.
