send-email: add sendmail email aliases format
Teach send-email to read aliases in the sendmail aliases format, i.e.
<alias>: <address|alias>[, <address|alias>...]
Examples:
alice: Alice W Land <awol@example.com>
bob: Robert Bobbyton <bob@example.com>
# this is a comment
# this is also a comment
chloe: chloe@example.com
abgroup: alice, bob
bcgrp: bob, chloe, Other <o@example.com>
- Quoted aliases and quoted addresses are not supported.
- Line continuations are not supported.
Warnings are printed for explicitly unsupported constructs, and any
other lines that are not matched by the parser.
