compat-wireless: support ignoring some stable linux-next patches

Right before and during the merge window the amount of stable
patches queue up on the linux-next.git tree gets pretty big
and some of these patches may not apply cleanly on the existing
stable release of the kernel so you may want to ignore them
and backport them manually. Add support for this by allowing
the packager to specify which patches should be ignored through
the pending-stable/.ignore file.

You can stuff your backported patch instead then into
pending-stable/backport/ manually.
