[PATCH] glep-0068: Add <straight-to-stable/> element to metadata.xml

Add a new <straight-to-stable/> element to metadata.xml, which indicates
that stable keywords should be retained on version bumps (i.e. as
a recommendation for developers, which may be overridden if
stabilization is deemed inappropriate).

For example, various `*-bin` packages are meaningless to wait for
stabilization, and should be stabilized immediately. This information
is only available when looking at the package's history and detecting
if the maintainer was bumping the version with stable keywords retained.

Various developer helper tools can be updated to detect this element
and not destable the ebuild on version bumps. The developer is always
free to override this recommendation if they feel that a wait period is
necessary.
