This format is more simple than the other alias file formats, so it may
be preferred by some users. The format is as follows.
<alias>: <address|alias>[, <address|alias>...]
Aliases are specified one per line. There is no line splitting.
Anything on a line after and including a `#` symbol is considered a
comment, and is ignored. Blank lines are ignored.
Example of the 'simple' format:
alice: Alice W Land <a...@example.com>
bob: Robert Bobbyton <b...@example.com>
# this is a comment
# this is also a comment
chloe: ch...@example.com
abgroup: alice, bob # comment after an alias
bcgrp: bob, chloe, Other <o...@example.com>

Notes:
This v3 extends the syntax to allow blank lines, and comments. The test
case is extended with comments added to alias file input.
The Documentation/git-send-email.txt is updated with a description of
the simple format. A note is added for the other formats, directing
readers to check the documentation of the email clients for a
description.
