Subject: [PATCH v2] git-send-email: use ! to indicate relative path to command

From: Gregory Anders <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 11 May 2021 13:01:01 -0600

When the smtpServer config option is prefixed with a ! character, the
value of the option should be interpreted as a command to look up on
PATH.
---

Fix the implementation to correctly find the absolute path for the given 
command, and report an error if the command is not found on PATH.
