Create a script for updating the ACPICA code in the RTEMS codebase

Summary

Create a python script for updating the ACPICA code in the RTEMS codebase. The script will convert commits from the ACPICA tree to a patch that can be applied to the RTEMS codebase (as long as the ACPICA commit actually changes a file we have imported). This means the process of updating the ACPICA code would be as such:

  • Check git log on the RTEMS source tree for the last ACPICA commit (All ACPICA commits should contain "ACPICA commit {hash}" in their message);
  • Use the script to generate patches for the missing commits;
  • Apply the commits to the RTEMS source tree;
