Provide a more meaningful initial "From " line when using --compose in git-send-email.
git-send-email, when used with --compose, provided the user with a mbox-format file to edit. Some users, however, were confused by the leading, blank, "From " line, so this change puts the value that will appear on the From: line of the actual email on this line, along with a note that the line is ignored.
