[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] patman: Handle creation of patman config file

[Vikram Narayanan <vikram186@gmail.com>]

patman shouts when it couldn't find a $(HOME)/.patman file.
Handle it in a sane way by creating a new one for the user.
It looks for a user.name and user.email in the global .gitconfig
file, waits for the user input if it can't find there. Update the
same in the README

 For most cases patman will locate and use the file 'doc/git-mailrc' in
 your U-Boot directory. This contains most of the aliases you will need.
 
+During the first run patman creates a config file for you by taking the default
+user name and email address from the global .gitconfig file.
+
 To add your own, create a file ~/.patman like this:
