Merge branch 'rj/send-email-validate-hook-count-messages'

The sendemail-validate validate hook learned to pass the total
number of input files and where in the sequence each invocation is
via environment variables.

  send-email: export patch counters in validate environment

+The following environment variables are set when executing the hook.

+`GIT_SENDEMAIL_FILE_COUNTER`::
+	A 1-based counter incremented by one for every file holding an e-mail
+	to be sent (excluding any FIFOs). This counter does not follow the

+	be equal to the number of files being sent, whether there is a cover
+	letter or not.

+These variables may for instance be used to validate patch series.

+patches (excluding the cover letter) can be applied on top of the upstream
+repository default branch without conflicts. Some placeholders are left for
+additional validation steps to be performed after all patches of a given series
+have been applied.
