Documentation: publicize KMail hints for sending patches inline

These hints are in git's private SubmittingPatches document but a
wider audience might be interested.  Move them to the "git
format-patch" manpage.

I'm not sure what gotchas these hints are meant to work around.
They might be completely false.
