    Add basic b4 config file
    
    b4[1] is a convenient tool for mail-based contribution. A config file[2]
    tracked in the tree lets the project ship a few defaults that match the Xen
    patch submission rules.
    
    This aims to help new contributors who have never used a mailing list avoid
    mistakes when sending their patch series.
    
    The tree has no scripts/checkpatch.pl or equivalent, so there is nothing
    for b4 to run per patch. Disable the needs-checking pre-flight check so a
    series can be sent without first running b4 prep --check.
