chainmail draft update

Replace a draft with a new version: the new version is saved and the old one deleted. The new version has a new ref, which is printed; the old ref is gone.

It takes send's recipient, subject, body and attachment options, without --account (the draft's account is used) and without --draft, --dry-run or --idempotency-key. The whole message is replaced, so give every recipient, the subject and the body again. A reply saved as a draft stays a reply.
