[YOCTO #15940]

Detect cases where Upstream-Status is placed after the patch
scissors ("---") and emit a warning instead of failing.

Such placement may be intentional in some workflows to avoid
including the tag in upstream commits.

v3:
- Fix indentation issues from previous version
- Keep changes minimal and avoid unrelated formatting changes
- Retain intended warning behavior
