[PATCH v3] git-send-email: use ! to indicate relative path to command

When the smtpServer config option is prefixed with a ! character, the value of the option should be interpreted as a command to look up on PATH.

Remove the PATH lookup, since Perl's exec() does this already.
Thanks to Jeff King for the assist.
