Fixed #3366 -- Part 1 of the email code refactoring and feature extension. This

part refactors email sending into a more object-oriented interface in order to
make adding new features possible without making the API unusable. Thanks to
Gary Wilson for doing the design thinking and initial coding on this.

Includes documentation addition, but it probably needs a rewrite/edit, since
I'm not very happy with it at the moment.

The EmailMessage and SMTPConnection classes
===========================================
Django's `send_mail()` and `send_mass_mail()` functions are actually thin
wrappers that make use of the `EmailMessage` and `SMTPConnection` classes in
`django.mail`. If you ever need to customize the way Django sends email, you
can subclass these two classes to suit your needs.
.. note::
Not all features of the `EmailMessage` class are available through the
`send_mail()` and related wrapper functions. If you wish to use advanced
features such as including BCC recipients or multi-part email, you will
need to create `EmailMessage` instances directly.
In general, `EmailMessage` is responsible for creating the email message
itself. `SMTPConnection` is responsible for the network connection side of the
operation. This means you can reuse the same connection (an `SMTPConnection`
instance) for multiple messages.
The `EmailMessage` class has the following methods that you can use:
* `send()` sends the message, using either the connection that is specified
in the `connection` attribute, or creating a new connection if none already
exists.
* `message()` constructs a `django.core.mail.SafeMIMEText` object (a
sub-class of Python's `email.MIMEText.MIMEText` class) holding the message
to be sent. If you ever need to extend the `EmailMessage` class, you will
probably want to override this method to put the content you wish into the
MIME object.
The `SMTPConnection` class is initialized with the host, port, username and
password for the SMTP server. If you don't specify one or more of those
options, they are read from your settings file.
If you are sending lots of messages at once, the `send_messages()` method of
the `SMTPConnection` class will be useful. It takes a list of `EmailMessage`
instances (or sub-classes) and sends them over a single connection. For
example, if you have a function called `get_notification_email()` that returns a
list of `EmailMessage` objects representing some periodic email you wish to
send out, you could send this with::
connection = SMTPConnection() # Use default settings for connection
messages = get_notification_email()
connection.send_messages(messages)
