Revisiting non-rawhide chain-builds

Historically, chain-builds were only supported in the Rawhide branch
because it was the only location that could auto-generate the buildroot.

However, the modern version of bodhi now supports allowing users to
submit individual packages to the buildroot of any branch.

It would make life easier for a great many people if 'fedpkg
chain-build' could gain the capability to automatically submit
buildroot overrides on non-Rawhide branches.

I've opened an RFE on the upstream fedpkg project here:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedpkg/ticket/6

This might make an excellent and highly-useful GSoC project. I've
added it to the Summer Coding Ideas Page[1]. I'm not the best person
to act as mentor, since I don't know the code, but I'd be okay acting
as a backup mentor.
