[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] patman: Read in the git-mailrc alias file

[Simon Glass]

We should read this file to obtain a set of aliases. This reduces the need
to create them in the ~/.patman file.

This feature did exist in some version of patman, and is mentioned in the
help but it did not find its way upstream.
