The script git-log-fixes.sh (used in check-git-log.sh) looks
for git tags to find the version where a bug is introduced.
In DPDK 17.08, the script has been fixed to ignore tags from
non current branch.
It was using the option --merged which was introduced in git 2.7.0.
As git 2.7.0 is not so old, a fallback is provided for some years.
The fallback is replacing the tag --merged option by a branch filter.
If the tag is found in the branch, the branch name is replaced
by the tag.
This script could be improved to allow using another reference branch,
instead of hard coding HEAD branch (the current one).

When checking if a buggy commit was introduced in an old version,
the script compares last tag containing the bug and current version.
The non merged tags from non related branches must be ignored.

Some commits for stable releases (with Cc stable tag) may not have the
fixline.
Thus, this patch makes git-log-fixes.sh script also list those stable
commits do not have fixline.

So that, as a stable maintainer while picking commits to a stable release,
I could pay less attention to those have it and pay more attention to those
don't have it.

There was a bug when looking at a commit fixing a commit which
itself was fixing many commits:
% devtools/git-log-fixes.sh 12ee45a36~..12ee45a36
devtools/git-log-fixes.sh: 96: local: 5499c1fc9b: bad variable name
In this case, the list of commits was not quoted in variable assignment.

The remaining scripts in the scripts/ directory are only useful
to developers. That's why devtools/ is a better name.
