Developers should not add "Backport: " fields to Git commits, because
this data is immutable after the commits are merged. It makes more sense
to handle this information in Redmine instead.

Add some documentation so developers understand what goes into next vs
what goes into master and how to handle backports to stable branches.

Encapsulate the compilation steps (install dependencies, autogen.sh,
configure, make check) in the run-make-check.sh script. Update the
developer documentation to point to this script instead of multiple
steps.
It is intended as a tool to help new developer make sure their patch is
sane, it focuses on efficiency (runs make check in parallel if possible)
and coverage (enables docker based tests if possible).

Largely based on Linux's version. Includes the Signed-off-by stuff at
the top, and a bit more modern description of how to prepare/send patches
using git format-patch and send-email.
