Allow components (mediawiki, extensions, skins) in wikiman.yaml to define patches via a patches array. Patches are now preserved when wikiman regenerates pacman.yaml, removing the need to manually re-add them. This also makes it easier to add comments explaining what each patch does.

patches is an array of objects so that it can support managing patches via different means in the future. E.g. the Patch object could contain a Gerrit Change Number or a Commit Hash instead of the URL.

In #546, @tarrow provided some useful context on this topic. I also like the doc changes that @deer-wmde has made in that PR. Especially the changes that fix or remove the information that is outdated by this PR.
