    patman: Make dry-run output match real functionality · 2181830f

    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.
