When a tag is used in a patch subject (e.g. "tag: rest of message") and
it cannot be found as an alias, patman currently reports a fatal error,
unless -t is provided, in which case it reports a warning.
Experience suggest that the fatal error is not very useful. Instead,
default to reporting a warning, with -t tell patman to ignore it
altogether.

To enable use of patman with FSF/GNU projects, such as GCC or
Binutils, no Signed-off-by may be added. This adds a command
line flag '--no-signoff' to suppress adding signoffs in patman
when processing commits.

At present patman tries to assume a default subcommand of 'send', to
maintain backwards compatibility. However it does not cope with
arguments added to the default command, so for example 'patman -t'
does not work.
Update the logic to handle this. Also update the CC command to use 'send'
explicitly, since otherwise patman gets confused with the patch-filename
argument.

It is tedious to add review tags into the local branch and errors can
sometimes be made. Add an option to create a new branch with the review
tags obtained from patchwork.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
Before sending out a new version of a series for review, it is important
to add any review tags (e.g. Reviewed-by, Acked-by) collected by
patchwork. Otherwise people waste time reviewing the same patch
repeatedly, become frustrated and stop reviewing your patches.
To help with this, add a new 'status' subcommand that checks patchwork
for review tags, showing those which are not present in the local branch.
This allows users to see what new review tags have been received and then
add them.
Sample output:
$ patman status

By default patman generates a combined changelog for the cover letter. This
may not always be desirable.
Many patches may have the same changes. These can be coalesced with
"Series-process-log: uniq", but this is imperfect. Similar changes like
"Move foo to patch 7" will not be merged with the similar "Move foo to this
patch from patch 6".
Changes may not make sense outside of the patch they are written for. For
example, a change line of "Add check for bar" does not make sense outside
of the context in which bar might be checked for. Some changes like "New"
or "Lint" may be repeated many times throughout different change logs, but
carry no useful information in a summary.
Lastly, I like to summarize the broad strokes of the changes I have made in
the cover letter, while documenting all the details in the appropriate
patches. I think this makes it easier to get a good feel for what has
changed, without making it difficult to wade through every change in the
whole series.
This patch adds two new tags to add changelog entries which only appear in
the cover letter, or only appear in the commit. Changes documented with
"Commit-changes" will only appear in the commit, and will not appear in the
cover letter. Changes documented with "Cover-changes" will not appear in
any commit, and will only appear in the cover letter.

Some mailing lists have size limits and when we add binary contents
to our patches it's easy to exceed the size limits.
Git supports a command line option "--no-binary" to generate patches
without any binary contents. Add an option in patman to handle this.
Note with this option patches cannot be applied properly, but they
are still useful for code review.
