scripts: allow marking commits with "Ignore-Backport:" in "find-backports" script
"find-backports" searches commit messages of upstream branches for
"Fixes:" comments. Those will then be highlighted to be backported,
if the script determines that to be necessary.

"find-backports" also honors the "cherry picked from" comments, to detect when
a patch was already backported. That is thus a way to suppress reporting a
commit to be backported.

Add another way to flag commits so they don't need backporting. Via
"Ignore-Backport:" tag.

As "find-backports" also honors "refs/notes/bugs" notes, this can be used
like:

    git notes \
      --ref refs/notes/bugs \
      append \
      -m "Ignore-Backport: e""29f00fa0c69 ('NEWS: fix entry that is targeted for 1.30 instead of 1.28')" \
