v2doc(send-email): use correct name of the --signed-off-by-cc in git send-email doc

I don’t think there is an option --signed-off-cc (without -by) for git send-email.

Rebase on the top of the current master (Whoops!) and improve the commit message.

It's better, but still not quite there:

  - The subject now uses `doc(send-email)`, which is an idiom we don't
    use over here.

  - The commit message still doesn't use imperative mood.

I know, we're quite pedantic about commit messages over here, but please bear with us :) How about this instead:

    docs: fix misspelled `--no-signed-off-by-cc` in git-send-email(1)

    In git-send-email(1) we reference the `--no-signed-off-cc` command
    line argument. This argument does not exist and never has existed,
    but it is an obvious misspelling of `--no-signed-off-by-cc`.

    Fix the misspelled argument.

It would also be great if you send future revisions of a patch series in the same thread. You can do so via `--in-reply-to`, where the parameter is the message ID of the first message of the first version of your patch series.

Thanks!

This is not being pedantic about anything. And all that in the email-driven project, where changing the patch before applying is absolutely no problem whatsoever. And all that harassment for three character change.

This harassment and complete NIH-syndrom ruling everything (git is the only project I have met so far, which didn’t settle on the vaguely K&R style for shell scripting, but why not to pester newbies with need to have specific settings in everything just for this one project, right?) leads me to abandoning this and couple of other attempts to contribute. Of course, accepting conventional commits (the only real standard in commit messages I know about) is beneath your station in life.

Have a nice day,

Matěj
