Subject: [PATCH] checkpatch: Ignore email headers better

There are some patches created by git format-patch
that when scanned by checkpatch report errors on
lines like

To:	address.tld

This is a checkpatch false positive.

Improve the logic a bit to ignore folded email headers
to avoid emitting these messages.
