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