Subject: [PATCH RESEND 0/3] scripts: coccicheck: document debug log handling

Currently coccicheck prints debug logs to stdout unless a debug file has been
set. This makes it hard to read coccinelle's suggested changes, especially for
someone new to coccicheck.

This patchset documents this behaviour in both the coccicheck script as well as
in the dev-tools documentation. Additionally, it simplifies some of the logic
for handling debug files.

Benjamin Philip (3):
  scripts: coccicheck: simplify debug file handling
  scripts: coccicheck: warn on unset debug file
  Documentation: Coccinelle: document debug log handling
