Commit 488d19c (patman: add distutils based installer) has the side effect
of making patman run twice with each invocation. Fix this by checking for
'main program' invocation in patman.py. This is good practice in any case.

To make it easier to use patman on other projects add a distutils style
installer. Now patman can be installed with
cd u-boot/tools/patman && python setup.py install
There are also the usual distutils options for creating source/binary
distributions of patman.

For the local project, we may specified format.subjectprefix setting.
Then the patch will be formated as [Project_prefix][PATCH].
But patman will not check this setting. It will remove the
format.subjectprefix.
So This patch will let patman check this setting and add it as a
project prefix.

True commit lines start at column zero. Anything that is indented
is part of the commit message instead. I noticed this by trying to
run buildman with commit e3a4facdfc
as master, which contained a reference to a Linux commit inside
the commit message. ProcessLine saw that as a genuite commit
line, and thus buildman tried to build it, and died with an
exception because that SHA is not present in the U-Boot tree.

When run with the --dry-run argument patman prints out information
showing what it would do. This information currently doesn't line up
with what patman/git send-email really do. Some basic examples:
- If an email address is addressed via "Series-cc" and "Patch-cc" patman
shows that email address would be CC-ed two times.
- If an email address is addressed via "Series-to" and "Patch-cc" patman
shows that email address would be sent TO and CC-ed.
- If an email address is addressed from a combination of tag aliases,
get_maintainer.pl output, "Series-cc", "Patch-cc", etc patman shows
that the email address would be CC-ed multiple times.
Patman currently does try to send duplicate emails like the --dry-run
output shows, but "git send-email" intelligently removes duplicate
addresses so this patch shouldn't change the non-dry-run functionality.
Change patman's output and email addressing to line up with the
"git send-email" logic. This trims down patman's dry-run output and
prevents confusion about what patman will do when emails are actually
sent.

Buildman normally obtains the upstream commit by asking git. Provided that
the branch was created with 'git checkout -b <branch> <some_upstream>' then
this normally works.
When there is no upstream, we can try to guess one, by looking up through
the commits until we find a branch. Add a function to try this and print
a warning if buildman ends up relying on it.
Also update the documentation to match.

For an occasional user of patman some failures are not obvious: for
instance when checkpatch reports warnings, the dry run still reports
that the email would be sent. If it is not dry run, the warnings are
shown on the screen, but it is not clear that the email was not sent.
Add some code to report failure to send email explicitly.
Tested by running the script on a patch with style violations,

Add a test point for the command module. This allows tests to emulate

In Python, sys.exit() function can also take an object other
than an integer.
If an integer is given to the argument, Python exits with the return
code of it. If a non-integer argument is given, Python outputs it
to stderr and exits with the return code of 1.
That means,
print >> sys.stderr, "Blah Blah"
sys.exit(1)
is equivalent to
sys.exit("Blah Blah")
The latter is a useful shorthand.
Note:
Some error messages in Buildman and Patman were output to stdout.
But they should go to stderr. They are also fixed by this commit.

If Series-to tag is missing, Patman exits with a message
"No recipient".
This is just annoying for those who had already added
sendemail.to configuration.
I guess many developers have
[sendemail]
to = u-boot@lists.denx.de
in their .git/config because the 'To: u-boot@lists.denx.de' field
should always be added when sending patches.
That seems more reasonable rather than adding
'Series-to: u-boot@lists.denx.de' to every patch series.
Patman should exit only when both Series-to tag and sendemail.to
configuration are mising.

When patman applies the patches it checks out a new branch, uses 'git am'
to apply the patches one by one, and then tries to go back to the old
branch. If you try this when the branch is 'undefined', this doesn't work
as patman cannot restore the correct branch after applying the patches.
It seems that 'undefined' is created by git and is persistent after it is
created, so that you can end up on quite an old branch.
Add a check for the 'undefined' branch to avoid this.
