At present patman sets the python path on startup so that it can access
the libraries it needs. If we convert to use absolute imports this is not
necessary.
Move patman to use absolute imports. This requires changes in tools which
use the patman libraries (which is most of them).

At present all the 'command' methods return bytes. Most of the time we
actually want strings, so change this. We still need to keep the internal
representation as bytes since otherwise unicode strings might break over
a read() boundary (e.g. 4KB), causing errors. But we can convert the end
result to strings.
Add a 'binary' parameter to cover the few cases where bytes are needed.

If kwargs contains raise_on_error then this function generates an error
due to a duplicate argument. Fix this.

Tests use the 'test_result' feature to return a predetermined command
result for particular commands. The avoids needing to have the real
command available just to run a test. It works by calling the function
provided by the test, to get the value.
However sometimes the test does need to run the real command. Allow it to
fall back to do this when the function does not return a result.

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.

Syntax for exception handling is a little more strict in python 3.x.
Convert all uses to a form accepted by both python 2.x & python 3.x.

It is more useful to have this method raise an error when something goes
wrong. Make this the default and adjust the few callers that don't want to
use it this way.

Add a test point for the command module. This allows tests to emulate
the execution of commands. This provides more control (since we can make
the fake 'commands' do whatever we like), makes it faster to write tests
since we don't need to set up as much environment, and speeds up test
execution.

RunPipe() currently pipes the output of stdout and stderr to a pty, but
this is not the intended behaviour. Fix it.

Make raise_on_error a parameter so that we can control which commands
raise and which do not. If we get an error reading the alias file, just
continue.

Rather than returning a list of things, return an object. That makes it
easier to access the returned items, and easier to extend the return
value later.

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.
