Added copyAllScoresIfNoChange
Covers the case when nothing has changed except the commit
of the rebased patch set. This is possible when a patch set is
rebased on target branch.
With this patch, when PS1 is rebased (without modification) to PS2
the Verified+1 and Code-Review+2 will be copied since PS1 and PS2 are
effectively the same change with different commits.
