git-send-email will now search $PATH for a sendmail binary, instead of
the (previously fixed) list of paths.

Motivation for this change

This facilates out of the box usage in combination with sendmail-compatible binaries in $PATH.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

It'd be interesting to see what upstream thinks of this patch. (I've wanted to do this change myself, but never prioritized it high enough.)

@vcunat If the current staging will have to be rebuilt another time, let's include this.

It's not that big, actually, so pushing immediately.
