patman: Make dry-run output match real functionality
When run with the --dry-run argument patman prints out information showing what it would do. This information currently doesn't line up with what patman/git send-email really do. Some basic examples: - If an email address is addressed via "Series-cc" and "Patch-cc" patman shows that email address would be CC-ed two times. - If an email address is addressed via "Series-to" and "Patch-cc" patman shows that email address would be sent TO and CC-ed. - If an email address is addressed from a combination of tag aliases, get_maintainer.pl output, "Series-cc", "Patch-cc", etc patman shows that the email address would be CC-ed multiple times. Patman currently does try to send duplicate emails like the --dry-run output shows, but "git send-email" intelligently removes duplicate addresses so this patch shouldn't change the non-dry-run functionality. Change patman's output and email addressing to line up with the "git send-email" logic. This trims down patman's dry-run output and prevents confusion about what patman will do when emails are actually sent.
