Add a git-publish configuration file

git-publish [1] is a convenient tool to send patches and has been
popular among QEMU developers.  Recently it has been made available in
Fedora official repo thanks to Stefan's work.

One nice feature of the tool is a per-project configuration with
profiles, especially in which the cccmd option is a handy method to
create the Cc list.

It would be worth to update README "Submitting patches" with an example

Good idea!

The workflow for a new patch series is:

  $ git checkout -b my-feature
  ...work on feature...
  $ git publish

Your patch series has been tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer
back to it in the future.

Sending v2:

  $ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch
  ...work on feature...
  $ git publish

Your patch series has been tagged as my-feature-v2.

Please rename the "qemu" profile to "default".  This way no --profile
needs to be given:

  $ git publish

The default profile settings can be overridden by command-line options
and branch-specific settings.

Good catch, I must have deleted it by mistake.
