cloudhead a46bcb2247 cob: Distinguish between commit parents
Previously, COB change commits would not distinguish between their
parents. This means that they would try to load source code commits
(eg. for patch COBs) and then fail since those commits wouldn't have a
manifest or `Rad-Resource`.

We introduce a backwards compatible change here which is that parent
oids that are not COB commits are accompanied by a commit trailer called
`Rad-Related`. This is for all related content that should be pulled in
but is not part of the change graph proper.

When building the change graph, we simply ignore commits that are marked
as "related".

When contributing to another's project, it is common for the contribution to be of many commits and involve a discussion with the project's maintainer. This is supported via Radicle's patches.

Here we give a brief overview for using patches in our hypothetical car scenario. It turns out instructions containing the power requirements were missing from the project.

$ git checkout -b flux-capacitor-power
$ touch REQUIREMENTS

Here the instructions are added to the project's README for 1.21 gigawatts and commit the changes to git.

$ git add REQUIREMENTS
$ git commit -v -m "Define power requirements"
[flux-capacitor-power 3e674d1] Define power requirements
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 REQUIREMENTS

Once the code is ready, we open (or create) a patch with our changes for the project.

$ git push rad -o patch.message="Define power requirements" -o patch.message="See details." HEAD:refs/patches
✓ Patch 0f3cd0b3a69c8f70bfa2d3366122c07704e5bb5f opened

 * [new reference]   HEAD -> refs/patches

It will now be listed as one of the project's open patches.
