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.

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.

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.

Patman outputs a line for every edition of the series in every patch,
regardless of whether any changes were made. This can result in many
redundant lines in patch changelogs, especially when a patch did not exist
before a certain revision. For example, the existing behaviour could result
in a changelog of
Changes in v7: None
Changes in v6: None
Changes in v5:
- Make a change
Changes in v4: None
Changes in v3:
- New
Changes in v2: None
With this patch applied and with --no-empty-changes, the same patch would
look like
(no changes since v5)
Changes in v5:
- Make a change
Changes in v3:
- New
This is entirely aesthetic, but I think it reduces clutter, especially for
patches added later on in a series.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

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.
