builtin-notes: Add "copy" subcommand for copying notes between objects

This is useful for keeping notes to objects that are being rewritten by e.g.
'git commit --amend', 'git rebase', or 'git cherry-pick'.

"git notes copy <from> <to>" is in practice equivalent to
"git notes add -C $(git notes list <from>) <to>", although it is somewhat
more convenient for regular users.

"git notes copy" takes the same -f option as "git add", to overwrite existing
notes at the target (instead of aborting with an error message).

If the <from>-object has no notes, "git notes copy" will abort with an error
message.

The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new subcommand.

object already has notes, abort. (use `-f` to overwrite an
existing note).
copy::
Copy the notes for the first object onto the second object.
Abort if the second object already has notes, or if the first
objects has none. (use -f to overwrite existing notes to the
second object). This subcommand is equivalent to:
`git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list <from-object>) <to-object>`
append::
Append to the notes of an existing object (defaults to HEAD).
Creates a new notes object if needed.
