Add the "D:" type which behaves the same as "K:" but will only match
content present in a patch file.
To illustrate:
Imagine this entry in MAINTAINERS:
NEW REPUBLIC
M: Han Solo <[email protected]>
W: https://www.jointheresistance.org
D: \bstrncpy\b
Our maintainer, Han, will only be added to the recipients if a patch
file is passed to get_maintainer (like what b4 does):
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0004-some-change.patch
If the above patch has a `strncpy` present in the subject, commit log or
diff then Han will be to/cc'd.
However, in the event of a file from the tree given like:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl ./lib/string.c
Han will not be noisily to/cc'd (like a K: type would in this
circumstance)
