[PATCH RESEND] hooks: add sendemail-validate-series

When sending patch series (with a cover-letter or not) sendemail-validate is called with every email/patch file independently from the others. When one of the patches depends on a previous one, it may not be possible to use this hook in a meaningful way.

Changing sendemail-validate to take all patches as arguments would break backward compatibility.

Add a new hook to allow validating patch series instead of patch by patch. The patch files are provided in the hook script standard input.

git hook run cannot be used since it closes the hook standard input. Run the hook directly.

+sendemail-validate-series
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-send-email[1].  It allows performing
+validation on a complete patch series at once, instead of patch by patch with
+`sendemail-validate`.
+
+`sendemail-validate-series` takes no arguments, but for each e-mail to be sent
+it receives on standard input a line of the format:
+
+  <patch-file> LF
+
+where `<patch-file>` is a name of a file that holds an e-mail to be sent,
+
+If the hook exits with non-zero status, `git send-email` will abort before
+sending any e-mails.
