[PATCH v5 6/6] patman: additionally honor a local .patman config file

[Maxim Cournoyer]

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.

+Patman will also look for a `.patman` configuration file at the root

+override the `project` settings variable or anything else in a
