Convert flashrom to git

 - Drop support for Subversion in the getrevision script and Makefile.
 - Refinement of getrevision to have a single function determining the
   new flashrom version string (based on git describe).
 - Add .gitignore and .gitattributes file (the latter to limit exports).
 - Restore modification dates of the exported files from the VCS.
 - Stop exporting VCS log dumps to CHANGELOG. This makes no sense.
 - Export VCS metadata needed by the Makefile to versioninfo.inc
 - Do not export the pre-"compiled" manpage. It can be generated like
   anything else from the code dump with versioninfo.inc
 - Add some initial client-side git hooks that get installed automatically
   on make runs:
   * pre-commit:
     - test for whitespace errors via git diff-index --check
   * commit-msg:
     - Use the up to date hook from gerrit to add Change-Id tags.
       Unlike the upstream hook, add them to fixup/squash changes too
       to allow for our staging process.
     - Test for duplicate sign-offs/acks.
   * When pushing to one of the upstream repositories check mandatory rules:
      - existing signoffs and acks in all new commits
      - no deletions of branches
      - no new branches other than versioned branches (e.g., 0.0.x)
      - no history rewriting of branches
 - Various other small refinements, bikesheddings and cosmetic changes to
   slow down progress of flashrom and humanity as a whole.
