Autotest .at files often have lines with samples of expected output from
various programs, which fairly often includes leading tabs, so this warning
causes false positives there.

Comments are more freeform than code, so this patch tries to ignore many
checks on comment lines. It assumes that any line that begins with "/*"
or "* " is a comment line. (Without a following space, "*" might be
something like "*x = 1;".)

A lot of checkpatch warnings are only enabled for particular kinds of
files, e.g. C warnings only apply to C source and header files. The -f
option didn't pass the file name to the code that determines what kinds
of warnings to report, so only generic warnings were actually reported.
This fixes that problem.

Other utilities (notoriously the linux kernel's checkpatch.pl) have a more

template used to print gains two enhancements:
1. Color
2. Conformance with the kernel's version of checkpatch.pl

Occasionally, characters will be sent which violate the
ascii decoder's sense of propriety. In fact, in-tree there are
a few such files (ex: tests/atlocal.in), and they cause an
exception to be raised when they are encountered.
Set the policy to ignore these cases. This means these bytes are
omitted from the text stream during processing.

Developers wishing to add checks to checkpatch sift through an adhoc mess,
currently. The process goes something like:
1. Figure out what to test in the patch
2. Write some code, quickly, that checks for that condition
3. Look through the statemachine to find where the check should go
4. ignore parts of the above and just throw something together
That worked fine for the initial development, but as interesting new tests
are developed, it is important to have a more flexible framework that lets
a developer just plug in a new test, easily.
This commit brings in a new framework that allows plugging in checks very
quickly. Hook up the line-length test as an initial demonstration.

The regex for the if/for/while bracket tests fails to distinguish
non-space text. This means text such as do_something_if() would match
incorrectly.
Additionally, the ends-with-bracket test doesn't allow for the common
coding paradigm:
if (condition) { /* Text about conditional. */
}
So fix that as well.

The line numbers being printed were the line numbers for the patchfile.
This is sometimes okay to fix simple things (trailing or leading
whitespace, missing signoffs, etc). But more complicated fixes, or
those fixes which require a bit more care, aren't helped by this. So,
we use the implied file line number.
This can be useful with future work to 'mock' apply and build a real
contextual scanner for checking multi-line changes.

CodingStyle.md says:
"Use form feeds (control+L) to divide long source files into logical
pieces. A form feed should appear as the only character on a line."
checkpatch.py currently complains about form feed. For example, on
commit 2c06d9a927c5("ovstest: Add test-netlink-conntrack command."),
checkpatch.py returns:
W(140): Line has non-spaces leading whitespace
W(140): Line has trailing whitespace
+
W(177): Line has non-spaces leading whitespace
W(177): Line has trailing whitespace
+
W(199): Line has non-spaces leading whitespace
W(199): Line has trailing whitespace
+
This commit suppresses the two warnings for lines with form feeds as the
only character.

Most projects have a checkpatch facility, which can be used as a pre-commit
sanity check. This introduces such a mechanism to the Open vSwitch project
to catch some of the more silly formatting mistakes which can occur. It is
not meant to replace good code review practices, but it can help eliminate
the silly code review issues which get added.
