Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] coccicheck: modernize

This v3 series addresses the feedback from the last v2 series
on the coccicheck enhancements [0], namely:

o it drops the indexing heuristics in favor for a .cocciconfig use
o drops glimpse support as its simply not well maintained, recommends
  idutils instead.
o adds a Linux .cocciconfig -- the assumption is you'd run spatch when
  you're at the top level of the kernel. This has not only the side effect
  of picking up .cocciconfig, but also that the coccicheck use of the
  make variables passed on are assumed to be correct given the base
  directory as the current directory.
o makes SPFLAGS more useful by ensuring it is always at the end of options
o rebases on top of Deepa Dinamani's patch
  "coccicheck: Allow for overriding spatch flags", under the assumption this
  is already merged. I don't see it on linux-next but I do think Michal
  has merged already onto his tree. This is also rebased on to linux-next
  next-20160621

These changes are also visible on kernel.org, on a branch based on linux-next
next-20160621 with Deepa's commit merged first.
