Use first patch subject instead of "Series without cover letter" in the incoming series view

Maybe add some sugar to indicate it's the first patch subject instead of cover letter subject, but just have something more useful than "Series without cover letter".

I'm a bit hesitant to use the first patch series, they are often not very interesting refactoring patches. I was wondering, something like "Series of n patches" or "Series starting with ${first patch subject}" could be better than "Series without cover letter", mayybe.

While redesigning the series table I ended up with something like:

N-patch series submitted by submitter_name or email

Like:

3-patch series submitted by Damien Lespiau

Nothing new there, but at least well structured, of consistent length and somehow informative. Would this work?

The "Incoming Series" page already lists the number of patches in the series and the submitter of the series. A series title "N-patch series submitted by submitter_name or email" adds no new information.

I'd very much prefer Damien's "Series starting with ${first patch subject}" suggestion.

Let's go with that then.
