~sircmpwn/git-send-email.io: Use direct TLS by default, add hints for STARTTLS

Use direct TLS by default, add hints for STARTTLS

In general it's better to use direct TLS connections. Default to
direct TLS in our example Git config.

Add a hint about STARTTLS, because (1) some old providers may still
not have direct TLS and (2) the Git smtpencryption option is very
confusing.
