When sending patch series (with a cover-letter or not) sendemail-validate is called with every email/patch file independently from the others. When one of the patches depends on a previous one, it may not be possible to use this hook in a meaningful way. A hook that wants to check some property of the whole series needs to know which patch is the final one. Expose the current and total number of patches to the hook via the GIT_SENDEMAIL_PATCH_COUNTER and GIT_SENDEMAIL_PATCH_TOTAL environment variables so that both incremental and global validation is possible. Sharing any other state between successive invocations of the validate hook must be done via external means. For example, by storing it in a git config sendemail.validateWorktree entry. Add a sample script with placeholder validations and update tests to check that the counters are properly exported.
