[PATCH 1/3] mailinfo.c: always collect the message-id

From
James Bottomley <james.bottomley@hansenpartnership.com>

Prior to this mailinfo only collected the message-id if add_messsage_id was true. Now git-am needs the message-id all the time, hence the change, and anything checking to see if message-id should be included in the trailer must check both any_message_id and message_id.
