[b4,2/3] ez: add '--same-thread' option to 'b4 send'

Commit Message

Philippe Blain Feb. 22, 2023, 1:29 a.m. UTC

The previous commit tweaked get_prep_branch_as_patches to optionnally
send further iterations of a patch series in the same thread as previous
ones.

Expose that functionality to the command line by adding a
'--same-thread' option (defaulting to False) to 'b4 send', and pass it
down to get_prep_branch_as_patches. Document the new feature.
