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.

In some communities, it may be necessary to append something after PATCH
in the subject line. For example, the Linux networking subsystem
expects [1] patch subject prefixes like [RFC PATCH net-next 0/99]. This
adds support for such "postfix"s to patman. Although entirely cosmetic,
it is still nice to have.

This patch adds or modifies functional tests for the Cover-changes,
Commit-changes, and Series-process-log tags in order to account for new
behavior added in the previous few patches. The '(no changes since v1)'
case is not tested for, since that would need an additional commit to test
in addition to testing the existing code paths.

A recent rename of the function did not rename the test file. Fix this.

This patch renames the routine fdtdec_setup_memory_size()
to fdtdec_setup_mem_size_base() as it now fills the
mem base as well along with size.

The existing test (patman --test) only covers basic checkpatch output.
We have had some problems with unicode processing and could use test
coverage for the various tags patman supports.
Add a new functional test which runs most of the patman flow on a few
test commits and checks that the results are correct.
See the documentation in the test for a description of what it does.
