git-send-email: ssh/login style password requests 

Whilst convenient, it is most unwise to record passwords
in any place but one's brain. Moreover, it is especially
foolish to store them in configuration files, even with
access permissions set accordingly.

git-send-email has been amended, so that if it detects
an smtp username without a password, it promptly prompts
for the password and masks the input for privacy.

Furthermore, the argument to --smtp-pass has been rendered
optional.

The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

--smtp-user, --smtp-pass::
Username and password for SMTP-AUTH. Defaults are the values of
the configuration values 'sendemail.smtpuser' and
'sendemail.smtppass', but see also 'sendemail.identity'.
If not set, authentication is not attempted.
--smtp-user::
Username for SMTP-AUTH. In place of this option, the following
configuration variables can be specified:
+
--
* sendemail.smtpuser
* sendemail.<identity>.smtpuser (see sendemail.identity).
--
+
However, --smtp-user always overrides these variables.
+
If a username is not specified (with --smtp-user or a
configuration variable), then authentication is not attempted.
--smtp-pass::
Password for SMTP-AUTH. The argument is optional: If no
argument is specified, then the empty string is used as
the password.
+
In place of this option, the following configuration variables
can be specified:
+
--
* sendemail.smtppass
* sendemail.<identity>.smtppass (see sendemail.identity).
--
+
However, --smtp-pass always overrides these variables.
+
Furthermore, passwords need not be specified in configuration files
or on the command line. If a username has been specified (with
--smtp-user or a configuration variable), but no password has been
specified (with --smtp-pass or a configuration variable), then the
user is prompted for a password while the input is masked for privacy.
--smtp-ssl::
If set, connects to the SMTP server using SSL.
