Subject: [PATCH v2] checkpatch: add command-line option for TAB size

The size of 8 characters used for both TAB and indentation is
embedded as magic value allover the checkpatch script, and this
makes the script less readable.

Replace the magic value 8 with a variable.
>From the context of the code it's clear if it is used for
indentation or tabulation, so no need to use two separate
variables.

Add a command-line option "--tab-size" to let the user select a
TAB size value other than 8.
This makes easy to reuse this script by other projects with
different requirements in their coding style (e.g. OpenOCD [1]
requires TAB size of 4 characters [2]).
