[PATCH b4 v2] config: add send-me-too configuration

[PATCH b4 v2] config: add send-me-too configuration

[Jeremy Kerr]

My mail transport automatically saves a copy of outgoing patches, so I'm
always using the `--no-me-too` argument to `b4 send`.

Instead of having to specify this every time, add a configuration option
to control the send-to-myself setting. In order to avoid
double-negatives in configuration (ie., `send-not-me-too = no`), use an
affirmative version, `send-me-too`, which defaults to `yes` (the current
behaviour).

Changes in v2:
- address feedback from Konstantin:
  - fix markup for fixed-width formatting (` -> ``)
  - reflow rst to 72 cols
  - explicitly str() our config.get() result, and provide a default.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260429-master-v1-1-f5052d8b7f9b@codeconstruct.com.au
