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.
