Add and document more checkpatch message types. About 50% of all
message types are documented now.
In addition to this:
- Create a new subsection 'Indentation and Line Breaks'.
- Rename subsection 'Comment style' to simply 'Comments'.
- Refactor some of the existing types to appropriate subsections.

While include/linux/bitops.h brings in the BIT() macro, it was moved to
include/linux/bits.h in commit 8bd9cb51daac ("locking/atomics, asm-generic:
Move some macros from <linux/bitops.h> to a new <linux/bits.h> file").
Since that commit BIT() has moved again into include/vdso/bits.h via
commit 3945ff37d2f4 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO").
I think the move to the vDSO header can be considered an implementation
detail, so for now update the checkpatch documentation to recommend use
of include/linux/bits.h.

All the error message types now have a verbose description.
Also there are two new groups of message types:
- Macros, Attributes and Symbols
- Functions and Variables
Rearrange the message types to fit these new groups as needed.

Add documentation for kernel script checkpatch.pl.
This documentation is also parsed by checkpatch to
enable a verbose mode.
The checkpatch message types are grouped by usage. Under
each group the types are described briefly. 34 of such
types are documented.
