<board>.fabnotes.txt is probably best; it follows the pattern we use
for gerbers.

We current have no GUI way of doing this, although I suppose you could
add a fabnotes entry in the PS attribute list, prefill it from the
board attribute, and update the board as needed.

So far, we only have a function for creating a new attribute, not
modifying one, as we only preserve the attribute list - nothing in
pcb's core uses it yet.  See CreateNewAttribute in create.c and
WriteAttributeList in file.c for examples; feel free to add more
functions if it makes sense to.
