patchpal 0.4.0 (new formula)

[jarodwilson]

Initial homebrew packaging.

This is software developed by some folks at Red Hat, looking to improve
the patch backporting experience, even for those using macOS. It's a
rust-based frontend that can be run entirely without the backend, but can
also hook into a python-based backend AI server that helps provide AI
assistance with backporting patches from a development branch to an older
stable maintenance branch, such as, say, from the upstream Linux kernel
branch to an old Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel branch.

The CI failure here appears to be "this fork isn't popular", which makes sense, given that I literally just created it today. Is that really a requirement to get a package included?

That was for the first push, and appears to have gone away when I fixed another issue.

Just noticed that there's a bit about new formula passing brew audit --new <formula> checks, which this actually does NOT, but... really?!? Here's the "failure":

patchpal
  * GitLab repository not notable enough (<30 forks and <75 stars)
Error: 1 problem in 1 formula detected.

Also amusing that it says GitLab there, when we're working on GitHub here.

Okay, self-tests now executing and passing on all platforms after jumping through some hoops to get a functioning X server for the linux case.

Can we test the functionality of the binary directly in some other way instead of editing the tests here? It would also mean we don't need to install the tests to the prefix.

The download url is on GitLab though.
