git-am support for naked email messages (take 2)
This allows git-am to accept single-message files as well as mboxes.
Unlike the previous version, this one doesn't need to be explicitly told
which one it is; rather, it looks to see if the first line is a From
line and uses it to select mbox mode or not.
I moved the logic to do all this into git-mailsplit, which got a new
user interface as result, although the old interface is still available
for backwards compatibility.
[jc: applied with two obvious fixes.]
