send-pull-request: Use current date in mail headers

Some users experience problems viewing the pull requests as a sequential
mail series due to the script using the git commit date for the patches
and today's date for the cover letter.

Address this by renaming the email Date: header to Old-Date: and adding
a new Date: header with a current timestamp.
