We already do this in pre-flight check, we just don't stop you from actually
ignoring the warning, because there can be legitimate situations in which this
should be ignored (e.g. you're sending a 'quick feedback' email to your
co-developers instead of making an actual submission).

We should have printed this warning before send:

    CRITICAL: Edit the cover: b4 prep --edit-cover

    Press Enter to ignore and send anyway or Ctrl-C to abort and fix

I don't think we should do a hard refusal here. We've already identified the
problem and invited the user to fix it.
