patman: Suppress empty changelog entries

Patman outputs a line for every edition of the series in every patch,
regardless of whether any changes were made. This can result in many
redundant lines in patch changelogs, especially when a patch did not exist
before a certain revision. For example, the existing behaviour could result
in a changelog of

Changes in v7: None
Changes in v6: None
Changes in v5:
- Make a change

Changes in v4: None

Changes in v3:
- New

Changes in v2: None

With this patch applied and with --no-empty-changes, the same patch would
look like

(no changes since v5)

Changes in v5:
- Make a change

Changes in v3:
- New

This is entirely aesthetic, but I think it reduces clutter, especially for
patches added later on in a series.
