Documentation: publicize hints for sending patches with GMail

The hints in SubmittingPatches about stopping GMail from clobbering
patches are widely useful both as examples of "git send-email" and
"git imap-send" usage.

Move the documentation to the appropriate places.

While at it, don't encourage storing passwords in config files.

GMail does not appear to have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web
interface, so this will mangle any emails that you send. You can however
use "git send-email" and send your patches through the GMail SMTP server, or
use any IMAP email client to connect to the google IMAP server and forward
the emails through that.
To use "git send-email" and send your patches through the GMail SMTP server,
edit ~/.gitconfig to specify your account settings:
[sendemail]
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpuser = user@gmail.com
smtppass = p4ssw0rd
smtpserverport = 587
Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the
following commands:
$ git format-patch --cover-letter -M origin/master -o outgoing/
$ edit outgoing/0000-*
$ git send-email outgoing/*
To submit using the IMAP interface, first, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
account settings:
[imap]
folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
user = user@gmail.com
pass = p4ssw0rd
port = 993
sslverify = false
You might need to instead use: folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you get an error
that the "Folder doesn't exist".
Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the
following commands:
$ git format-patch --cover-letter -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send
Just make sure to disable line wrapping in the email client (GMail web
interface will line wrap no matter what, so you need to use a real
IMAP client).
