patman: Add support for settings in .patman
This patch adds support for a [settings] section in the .patman file. In this section you can add settings that will affect the default values for command-line options. Support is added in a generic way such that any setting can be updated by just referring to the "dest" of the option that is passed to the option parser. At the moment options that would make sense to put in settings are "ignore_errors", "process_tags", and "verbose". You could override them like: [settings] ignore_errors: True process_tags: False verbose: True The settings functionality is also used in a future change which adds support for per-project settings.
