Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] checkpatch: add verbose mode

Add a new verbose mode to checkpatch.pl to emit additional verbose
test descriptions. The verbose mode is optional and can be enabled
by the flag -v or --verbose.

The test descriptions are parsed from the checkpatch documentation
file at `Documentation/dev-tools/checkpatch.rst`. The test
descriptions in the docs are kept in a fixed format, an example
of which is as follows:

:LINE_SPACING:
  Vertical space is wasted given the limited number of lines an
  editor window can display when multiple blank lines are used.

:MISSING_SIGN_OFF:
  The patch is missing a Signed-off-by line.  A signed-off-by
  line should be added according to Developer's certificate of
  Origin.
  ref: `Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst`

The verbose descriptions are not shown when the --terse option
is enabled.

Signed-off-by: Dwaipayan Ray <dwaipayanray1@...il.com>
