Per the b4 documentation: B4 is a tool created to make it easier for
project developers and maintainers to use a distributed development
workflow that relies on patches and distribution lists for code
contributions and review.

B4 is now a common tool used by developers for Linux kernel workflows.

While the Linux kernel support is handled inside b4, other projects can
rely on a .b4-config file to achieve the same thing.

Add a .b4-config file to instruct b4 to send patches to the
libcamera-devel mailing list. This allows the command b4 prep
--auto-to-cc to automatically add the mailing to its To: list.

Command output without .b4-config :

$ b4 prep --auto-to-cc
Collecting To/Cc addresses
No new addresses to add.

With .b4-config :

$ b4 prep --auto-to-cc
Collecting To/Cc addresses
    + To: libcamera-devel@lists.libcamera.org
