Users have mistakenly copied "From " lines into commit messages
in the past, and will certainly make the same mistakes in the
future.  Since not everyone uses mboxrd, yet, we should at least
prevent miss-split mails by always escaping "From " lines based
on the check used by mailsplit.

mailsplit will not perform unescaping by default, yet, as it
could cause further invocations of format-patch from old
versions of git to generate bad output.  Propagating the mboxo
escaping is preferable to miss-split patches.  Unescaping may
still be performed via "--mboxrd".
