When a patch is added to a series after the initial version, there are no
changes to note except that it is new. This is typically done to suppress
the "(no changes in vN)" message. It's also nice to add a change to the
cover letter so reviewers know there is an additional patch. Add a tag to
automate this process a bit.
There are two nits with the current approach:
- It favors '-' as a bullet point, but some people may prefer '*' (or
something else)
- Tags (e.g. 'patman: ' in 'patman: foo bar') are not stripped. They are
probably just noise in most series, but they may be useful for treewide
series to distinguish 'gpio: frobnicate' from 'reset: frobnicate', so
I've left them in.
Suggestions for the above appreciated.

Most tags referring to commits (or patches) are named Commit-something. The
exception is Patch-cc. Add a Commit-cc alias so we can use whichever one is
convenient.

The "Series-patchwork-url:" tag description says that it overrides the
settings file but doesn't specify the name of the setting. Elsewhere
in the documentation about the "useful" settings we see a setting that
sounds promising called "patchwork_server" that's actually not a valid
setting. It should be "patchwork_url".
Fix these problems so the doc is right and more useful.

The "Sending patches" and "Patman patch manager" documents refer to the
three-dash, "---", that separates patch parts. The symbol is written in
the documentation in the same form as it is in actual patches: as three
U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS characters. When building the documentation, Sphinx
converts this symbol to a U+2014 EM DASH, that is invalid in this case.
Make the three-dash symbol a reStructuredText inline literal to prevent
its conversion; that is, enclose it in a pair of double backquotes (`).

A Change-Id can be useful for traceability purposes, and some projects
may wish to have them preserved. This change makes it configurable
via a new 'keep_change_id' setting.

This makes it possible to configure a project to use some other
location or script than the default scripts/get_maintainer.pl one used
in the U-Boot and Linux projects. It can be configured via a .patman
configuration file and accepts arguments, as documented.

This enables versioning a project specific patman configuration file.
It also makes it possible to declare the project name, which is not a
useful thing to do in $HOME/.patman. A new test is added, along
updated documentation.

Pytest offers useful features such as selecting tests by means of a
regular expression, or running the pdb debugger upon encountering a
test failure.

Some tests would fail when the test data is not available, so it
doesn't make much sense to expose the action when patman is running
outside of the u-boot git checkout.
