patman: Use Patch-cc: instead of Cc:
Add a new Patch-cc: tag which performs the service now provided by the Cc: tag. The Cc: tag is interpreted by git send-email but ignored by patman. So now: Cc: patman does nothing. (git send-email can cc patches) Patch-cc: patman Cc's patch and removes this tag from the patch Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
