Add a new verbose mode to checkpatch. The verbose test descriptions are read from the new checkpatch documentation file at `Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst`, which is also added by this series. The verbose mode is optional and can be enabled by the flag -v or --verbose. The documentation file is only parsed by checkpatch.pl if the verbose mode is enabled. The verbose mode can not be used together with the --terse option. Changes in v8: - Remove custom table of contents from checkpatch rst Changes in v7: - Add color coding support to --list-types option Changes in v6: - Allow using verbose mode with --list-types option Changes in v5: - Change the reference format to use absolute links. - Print verbose descriptions only for the first time a message type is encountered. Changes in v4: - Change the type description format - Group the message types by usage - Make handling of --terse with --verbose simpler Changes in v3: - Simplify documentation file parsing in checkpatch - Document a total of 33 message types for checkpatch Changes in v2: - Use .rst Field Lists to specify the type descriptions. - Add a few more type descriptions to documentation.
