"git send-email --git-completion-helper" only prints "format-patch"
flags. Make it print "send-email" flags as well, extracting them
programmatically from its three existing "GetOptions".

Introduce a "uniq" subroutine, otherwise --cc-cover, --to-cover and
other flags would show up twice. In addition, deduplicate flags common
to both "send-email" and "format-patch", like --from.

Remove extraneous flags: --, --h and --git-completion-helper.

Add a completion test for "send-email --validate", a send-email flag.

Reverted the `GetOptions` indentation. Noise is now gone :-)

I don't quite see how this would fit into the commit message. A comment in the
code seems to fit better to account for this detail. That's what I did, but if
you still disagree, please elaborate where in the commit message this sentence
should be added.

I interpreted that standalone `--` as an extraneous / useless token. If it's
there intentionally, then I am reverting my stripping it. At the end of the day
whether to include it or not is a small detail, but FYI, when I do:

  git clone -<TAB>

in bash, nothing happens. I would have expected it to be expanded to "--"
because of the explicit "--", but it doesn't. Therefore my conclusion is that
"--" in the output of "--git-completion-helper" is useless. Am I missing
something?

Finally, as per your comments about "=": OK, I see what you mean. For the record
I had produced a quick-and-dirty version earlier (on top of V6), but didn't
include it in V7 because I didn't deem it polished enough, but I'll include it
here for reference. I'll take your new comments to see if I can produce a better
polished version before I send V8:

> That it's a map/map/keys is just some off-the-cuff Perl hacking on my

part, I think for validation etc. it's usually better to just turn it
into a plain old boring for-loop.

Oh, okay, I didn't find it hacky at all, the `map` seemed quite elegant and
functional to me, but then again I am a perl newbie :-P.

Differences from V7 (so far):

As per Ævar's comments:

- completely drop 1/3 since we'now using split instead of print to incorporate
  format-patch options. Side effect: then-extraneous '\n' is now gone.

- revert indentation (tabs) on GetOptions to eliminate diff noise (as per Ævar's
  interpretation of original Carlos's comment)

- re-add "--" to the output of "git send-email --git-completion-helper"
