b4 version 0.3.5 released

Hello:

Version 0.3.5 is a minor point release in the stable-0.3.y branch.  
Notable changes compared to v0.3.4:

- Tweak b4.sh wrapper so it can also be symlinked
- Strip leading id: and rfc822msgid: bits from the message-id
- Warn when we are ignoring trailers due to From mismatch and allow to 
  force their application using the -S,--sloppy-trailers flag
- Ignore messages without plaintext content instead of crashing
- Disambiguate cached messages when running with --useproject
- Minor bugfixes

Thanks to the following people for their help:
- Greg Kroah-Hartman
- Jason Donenfeld
- Rob Herring
- Geert Uytterhoeven

To upgrade with pip:

pip install --user --upgrade b4

You can also run from the stable-0.3.y branch directly from checkout if 
you use the b4.sh wrapper.

Best regards,
Konstantin

Hi Konstantin!

> Version 0.3.5 is a minor point release in the stable-0.3.y branch.  

I started noticing this a few commits back. Sometimes my SoB is being
added before the patch author's. The interesting thing is that it is
non-deterministic. I.e. if I run exactly the same b4 command several
times in a row, sometimes the ordering is correct, sometimes it's
reversed.

While repeating this in one terminal:

$ b4 am -s 20200327141954.955-1-ddiss@suse.de

I run this in another:

$ tail -F v3_20200327_ddiss_scsi_target_xcopy_performance.mbx | grep Signed-off

I think I'm cursed!

Dang it, I know why this is happening. I switched to using a set() 
instead of a list() when handling trailers in order to simplify 
duplicate tracking. Unfortunately, I forgot that the order in a set() is 
non-deterministic, so even if we sort the list first, the moment it 
becomes a set, we lose positioning information.

I'll put in a fix.

The latest commit (in master and stable-0.3.y) should fix this.

Best,

No gremlins to be found. Thanks much!
