Support copying of approvals if new patch set has no code changes
It can now be configured that all scores for a label are copied
forward when a new patch set is uploaded that has the same parent
commit as the previous patch set and the same code delta as the
previous patch set. This means only the commit message is different.
This can be used to enable sticky approvals on labels that only
depend on the code, reducing turn-around if only the commit message
is changed prior to submitting a change.
E.g. this configuration could be used for the Verified category if
it is only used by an automated tool to express that build and tests
succeed.
