[Devel] [PATCH VZ10] b4: ship project defaults in .b4-config

[Devel] [PATCH VZ10] b4: ship project defaults in .b4-config

[Vasileios Almpanis]

b4 fetches series from lore.kernel.org by default. To use it with our
list archive at lore.virtuozzo.com every developer had to set the same
handful of b4.* git config keys, plus two more to get the right
recipients on "b4 send" and one for the subject prefix.

b4 loads a .b4-config at the top of the tree as defaults for commands
run inside it, so put the archive URL masks, the default recipients and
the VZ10 subject prefix there. Add the file to the .gitignore dot-file
exceptions so it is tracked.
