[MERGE] Add simple script for checking that all bugs in NEWS are closed in launchpad.

[Jelmer Vernooij]

This patch adds a simple script in tools/ that can check that all bugs
that are mentioned in NEWS are actually marked as "Fix Released" in
launchpad. It uses the launchpadbugs python module packaged in Ubuntu.

It does "intelligent" parsing of the NEWS file, rather than just
checking every bug number that is mentioned - only bug numbers mentioned
inside parentheses at the end of a fragment are checked. 

It can write out email commands that are understood by Malone. Of
course, some manual verification is still necessary since some bugs are
only partially fixed.

Cheers,

Jelmer
