util: Add a command for backporting - #5292

Usage:
./etc/libc-util.py backport --branch backport-carrot
./etc/libc-util.py backport-pr-description --branch backport-carrot
There is a script on the libc-0.2 branch for backporting as well, but
this one uses a `git rebase` todo to be a bit more robust against
conflicts. The libc-0.2 script also doesn't pick from the correct SHAs
since the GitHub API doesn't give a list of commits as merged (instead,
only commits as they are in the PR).
