Subject: [PATCH v2] checkpatch: Warn if missing author Signed-off-by

Print a warning if none of the Signed-off-by lines cover the patch
author.

Non-ASCII quoted printable encoding in From: headers and (lack of)
double quotes are handled.
Split From: headers are not fully handled: only the first part is
compared.

Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@...der.be>
---
Tested using a set of ca. 4000 real world commits.

Most common offenders are people using:
  - different email addresses for author and Sob,
  - different firstname/lastname order, or other different name
    spelling,
  - suse.de vs. suse.com.

v2:
  - Use "Encode" instead of "MIME::Words", as the former is a Perl core
    module,
  - Reduce level from error to warning.
