mail: the "copy" command operates on files by default.

Last argument is treated as a mailbox only if it begins with
a mailbox scheme (mbox://, maildir://, etc).

* mail/copy.c (append_to_mailbox)
(append_to_file): New functions.
(mail_copy0): Depending on whether mailbox scheme is specified,
call one of the above functions.
* doc/texinfo/programs.texi (mail): Fix documentation of the copy
command.
* mail/testsuite/mail/write.exp: Update line/character counts for
[Ss]ave commands.
