Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: warn if changed lines exceeds a maximum size

Changed lines is the total of inserted and deleted lines.
By default there is no limit, --max-changed-lines may be used to set a
value. Some users may wish to encourage that patches are split into
smaller parts using this.
See Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst#split-changes
