[PATCH] send-email: remove documented requirement for Net::SMTP::SSL

git-send-email uses the TLS support in the Net::SMTP core module from recent versions of Perl. Documenting the minimum version is complex because of separate numbering for Perl (5.21.5~169), Net:SMTP (2.34) and libnet (3.01). Version numbers from commit: bfbfc9a953 ("send-email: Net::SMTP::starttls was introduced in v2.34", 2017-05-31)

Users of older Perl versions without Net::SMTP::SSL installed will get a clear error message.
