8c042fb7f9 patman: add '--get-maintainer-script' argument
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.

8f8d3f72f2 patman: additionally honor a local .patman config file
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.

52c1c333ea patman: hide the 'test' command unless test data is available
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.

Quite a few blank lines are not needed here. Drop these and use the #
mechanism to number paragraphs.
