send-email: more meaningful Message-ID
Using a YYYYmmddHHMMSS date representation is more meaningful to
humans, especially when used for lookups on NNTP servers or linking
to archive sites via Message-ID (e.g. mid.gmane.org or
mid.mail-archive.com). This timestamp format more easily gives a
reader of the URL itself a rough date of a linked message compared
to having them calculate the seconds since the Unix epoch.
Furthermore, having the MUA name in the Message-ID seems to be a
rare oddity I haven't noticed outside of git-send-email. We
already have an optional X-Mailer header field to advertise for
us, so extending the Message-ID by 15 characters can make for
unpleasant Message-ID-based URLs to archive sites.
