[PATCH 1/2] pretty: separate out the logic to decide the use of in-body from

When pretty-printing the log message for a given commit in e-mail format (e.g. "git format-patch"), we add in-body "From:" header when the author identity of the commit is different from the identity of the person who is "sending" the mail.

Split out the logic into a helper function. Because the "from_ident must be set" condition is there not because it is used in the ident_cmp() next, but because the codepath that is entered when this logic says "Yes, you should use in-body from" requires values there in from_ident member, so separate it out into an if() statement on its own to clarify it.
