1b0df8f23c scripts/get-developers: correct type of patches argument
Current type for 'patches' argument is str. It supposed to only
contain names of files.

If we specify FileType as type, then we don't need to open file ourself
and it allows script to read patch from standard input as well.

e.g.
$ git show -1 | ./support/scripts/get-developers -

a1d12fe939 get-developers: use --cc instead of --to for developers
Output of get-developers script in our manual uses --cc for developers,
but actual output of get-developers script uses --to. This patch makes
code consistent with documentation, by using --cc for developers.

183d9b654c support/scripts/get-developers: add new script
This script, and its companion library, is more-or-less Buildroot's
equivalent to the kernel get_maintainer.pl script: it allows to get the
list of developers to whom a set of patches should be sent to.

To do so, it first relies on a text file, named DEVELOPERS, at the root
of the Buildroot source tree (added in a followup commit) to list the
developers and the files they are interested in. The DEVELOPERS file's
format is simple:

N:     Firstname Lastname <email>
F:     path/to/file
F:     path/to/another/file

This allows to associate developers with the files they are looking
after, be they related to a package, a defconfig, a filesystem image, a
package infrastructure, the documentation, or anything else.

When a directory is given, the tool assumes that the developer handles
all files and subdirectories in this directory. For example
"package/qt5/" can be used for the developers looking after all the Qt5
packages.

Conventional shell patterns can be used, so "package/python-*" can be
used for the developers who want to look after all packages matching
"python-*".

A few files are recognized specially:

 - .mk files are parsed, and if they contain $(eval
   $(<something>-package)), the developer is assumed to be looking after
   the corresponding package. This way, autobuilder failures for this
   package can be reported directly to this developer.

 - arch/Config.in.<arch> files are recognized as "the developer is
   looking after the <arch> architecture". In this case, get-developer
   parses the arch/Config.in.<arch> to get the list of possible BR2_ARCH
   values. This way, autobuilder failures for this package can be
   reported directly to this developer.

 - pkg/pkg-<infra>.mk are recognized as "the developer is looking after
   the <infra> package infrastructure. In this case, any patch that adds
   or touches a .mk file that uses this infrastructure will be sent to
   this developer.

Examples of usage:

$ ./support/scripts/get-developers 0001-ffmpeg-fix-bfin-build.patch
git send-email--to buildroot@buildroot.org --to "Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>" --to "Bernd Kuhls <bernd.kuhls@t-online.de>"
