builtin-notes: Add "copy" subcommand for copying notes between objects
This is useful for keeping notes to objects that are being rewritten by e.g.
'git commit --amend', 'git rebase', or 'git cherry-pick'.
"git notes copy <from> <to>" is in practice equivalent to
"git notes add -C $(git notes list <from>) <to>", although it is somewhat
more convenient for regular users.
"git notes copy" takes the same -f option as "git add", to overwrite existing
notes at the target (instead of aborting with an error message).
If the <from>-object has no notes, "git notes copy" will abort with an error
message.
The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new subcommand.
