b4 0.13.0 available

[Konstantin Ryabitsev]

Hello, all:

I am happy to announce the release of b4-0.13.0. There are no major new
features that were introduced since 0.12, but there are enough feature updates
to warrant a "Quality of Life" point-release.

# Updating

If you installed via pip, you can upgrade using:

    pip install --upgrade b4

If you're using b4 via the git checkout, you can either update to latest
master, or checkout the new stable-0.13.y branch. You can also download signed
tarballs from the usual location:

https://kernel.org/pub/software/devel/b4/

# Notable changes

Besides the usual bugfixes, some of which have been backported to 0.12.y
already:

## am, shazam
- `b4 am` now has a `--single-message` flag that lets you process a single
  message and ignore any other parts of a thread; this is useful when there is
  a patch series sent as attachments to a single message
- `--apply-cover-trailers` is now the default behaviour
- when patchwork integration is configured, `b4 am` will attempt to retrieve
  the CI status of patches

## prep, send
- `b4 prep --show-info` can do a lot more now, including showing information
  about branches that aren't currently checked out
- `b4 prep` gained a --cleanup option to properly archive and remove old
  b4-prep-managed branches
- `b4 send` has a `--preview-to` option that lets you send a pre-review of your
  series to your colleagues, mentors, or bosses
- various fixes and improvements to `b4 send` functionality

## Other notable changes
- b4 can now take config options on commandline, allowing to override global
  configs via scripted invocations
- improvements to `b4 diff` that should make it work more reliably for series
  without exact object matches
