[trusty/lts-backport-xenial][PATCH v2 0/1] update-from-*-master: add parameter to change source commit

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza]

The following patch change the 'update-from-*-master' script to
accept a '-c' flag which will override the default 'master-next'
branch and allow a rebase on top of any commit-ish, and a '-t'
flag that will skip the search for the most recent closing
commit, allowing to rebase even on top of an unclosed version.

This is particularly useful along with the '-r' flag, which
allows the user to provide a local tree which can be used to
prepare a backport before the public tree is updated.

I'm seding only one patch for now for discussion, if it is an
acceptable solution I will send the other ones later (for
precise/lts-trusty, xenial/hwe and xenial/hwe-edge).

v2:
- Changed '-b' to '-c' to make it clear that any commit-ish name
  is accepted.
- Added the '-t' flag to split the functionality.
- Renamed 'BRANCH' to 'COMMIT'.
