[PATCH v2 03/11] patman: Add a .patman-defaults file for U-Boot

patman is now installed from the separate patch-manager package. It reads
a .patman-defaults file from the tree root as its lowest-priority config,
so a project can ship defaults that developers still override from their
own ~/.patman, a local .patman or the command line. This behaviour is new
in patman version 0.0.20
Add one for U-Boot, alongside .b4-config, pinning the patchwork server and
the get_maintainer.pl invocation so the tool works out of the box without
depending on patman's built-in defaults. A few other settings are listed,
commented out, as a starting point.

+# Default patman settings for the U-Boot tree
+#
+# patman is maintained separately; install it with:
+# pip install patch-manager
+#
+# See https://deinde.dev/patman
+#
+# patman reads this file at the lowest priority, so anything set here is a
+# default that you can override in your own ~/.patman, in a local .patman or
+# on the command line. patman autodetects the U-Boot project and locates
+# scripts/get_maintainer.pl on its own; the patchwork server and get-maintainer
+# script are pinned here so U-Boot does not depend on patman's built-in
+# defaults in case those change.

+# Aliases are recursive and are usually kept per-user in ~/.patman:
