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.

The get_maintainers script is a useful default, but sometimes is copies
too many people, or takes a long time to run.
Add an option to disable it and update the README.

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,
observed error messages in the script output.

It seems that this is no longer needed, since checkpatch.pl will catch
whitespace problems in patches. Also the option is not widely used, so
it seems safe to just remove it.

"patman [options]" is displayed by default.
Append the rest of help messages to parser.usage

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.
This is a nice side effect.

Patman requires python 2.7.4 to run but it doesn't
need to be placed in /usr/bin/python.
Use env to ensure that the interpreter used is
the first one on environment's $PATH on system
with several versions of Python installed.

Especially with the Linux kernel, it takes a long time (a minute or more)
to test-apply the patches, so patman becomes significantly less useful.
The only real problem that is found with this apply step is trailing spaces.
Provide a -a option to skip this step, for those working with clean patches.

Often it happens that patches include tags which don't have aliases. It
is annoying that patman fails in this case, and provides no option to
continue other than adding empty tags to the .patman file.
Correct this by adding a '-t' option to ignore tags that don't exist.
Print a warning instead.
Since running the tests is not a common operation, move this to --test
instead, to reserve -t for this new option.

To make it usable in git trees not providing a patch checker
implementation, add a command line option, allowing to suppress patch
check. While we are at it, sort debug options alphabetically.
Also, do not raise an exception if checkpatch.pl is not found - just
print an error message suggesting to use the new option, and return
nonzero status.
. unit test passes:
$ ./patman -t
<unittest.result.TestResult run=7 errors=0 failures=0>
. successfully used patman in the autotest tree to generate a patch
email (with --no-check option)
. successfully used patman in the u-boot tree to generate a patch
email
. `patman --help' now shows command line options ordered
alphabetically

There are cases that we want to support different settings (or maybe
even different aliases) for different projects. Add support for this
by:
* Adding detection for two big projects: U-Boot and Linux.
* Adding default settings for Linux (U-Boot is already good with the
standard patman defaults).
* Extend the new "settings" feature in .patman to specify per-project
settings.

This patch adds support for a [settings] section in the .patman file.
In this section you can add settings that will affect the default
values for command-line options.
Support is added in a generic way such that any setting can be updated
by just referring to the "dest" of the option that is passed to the
option parser. At the moment options that would make sense to put in
settings are "ignore_errors", "process_tags", and "verbose". You
could override them like:
[settings]
ignore_errors: True
process_tags: False
verbose: True
The settings functionality is also used in a future change which adds
support for per-project settings.

Currently we go through and generate the CC list for patches twice.
This gets slow when (in a future CL) we add a call to
get_maintainer.pl on Linux. Instead of doing things twice, just cache
the CC list when it is first generated.

What is this?
=============
This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people
It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.
It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:
in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.
See the README file for full details.
