[U-Boot] [PATCH v1] patman: add Series-commit-notes tag and section

[Albert ARIBAUD]

Sometimes a commit should have notes enclosed with it rather
than withing the cover letter -- possibly even because there
is no cover letter. Add 'Series-commit-notes' tag, similar to
'Series-notes'; lines between this tag and the next END line
are inserted in the patch right after the '---' separator line.
