Fix a small bug introduced by "7a36987ff (send-email: add an auto option for transfer encoding, 2018-07-14)"

I saw the following message when setting --transfer-encoding for a file
with the same encoding:
    $ git send-email --transfer-encoding=8bit example.patch
    Use of uninitialized value $xfer_encoding in concatenation (.) or string
    at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1744.
v2 adds a test provided by brian m. carlson.
