[PATCH v2 1/1] scripts: Add add-maintainer.py

This script runs get_maintainer.py on a given patch file and adds its
output to the patch file in place with the appropriate email headers
"To: " or "Cc: " as the case may be. These new headers are added after
the "From: " line in the patch.

Currently, for a single patch, maintainers are added as "To: ", mailing
lists and all other roles are addded as "Cc: ".

For a series of patches, however, a set-union scheme is employed in
order to solve the all-too-common problem of sending subsets of a patch
series to some lists, which results in important pieces of context such
as the cover letter being dropped. This scheme is as follows:
- Create set-union of all mailing lists corresponding to all patches and
  add this to all patches as "Cc: "
- Create set-union of all other roles corresponding to all patches and
  add this to all patches as "Cc: "
- Create set-union of all maintainers from all patches and use this to
  do the following per patch:
  - add only that specific patch's maintainers as "To: ", and
  - the other maintainers from the other patches as "Cc: "

Please note that patch files that don't have any "Maintainer"s
explicitly listed in their `get_maintainer.pl` output will not have any
"To: " entries added to them; developers are expected to manually make
edits to the added entries in such cases to convert some "Cc: " entries
to "To: " as desired.

The script is quiet by default (only prints errors) and its verbosity
can be adjusted via an optional parameter.
