Email Return-Path Setting is not used as Return-Path in Mail Transport

[tkn98]

Settings in the adminhtml backend regarding the outgoing mail messages return-path are ignored when Magento initiates the mail transport.

+-------------------------------+---------+----------+------------------+
| Path                          | Scope   | Scope-ID | Value            |
+-------------------------------+---------+----------+------------------+
| system/smtp/return_path_email | default | 0        | info@example.com |
| system/smtp/set_return_path   | default | 0        | 2                |
+-------------------------------+---------+----------+------------------+

In this case the system/smtp/return_path_email address "info@exa.net" is not used with outgoing transport.

The behavior is reproducible and was reproduced in Magento 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 clean instances.
