[PATCH v3] checkpatch: add dedicated checker for 'Fixes:' tag

From: Wang YanQing
Date: Mon Apr 27 2020 - 22:05:21 EST


According to submitting-patches.rst, 'Fixes:' tag has a little
stricter condition about the one line summary:
...
Do not split the tag across multiple
lines, tags are exempt from the "wrap at 75 columns" rule in order to simplify
parsing scripts
...

And there is no 'Fixes:' tag format checker in checkpatch to check
the commit id length too, so let's add dedicated checker to check
these conditions for 'Fixes:' tag.

v2-v3
1:No modification to GIT_COMMIT_ID checker.
I make a mistake previously, GIT_COMMIT_ID doesn't check 'Fixes:' tag in any way,
it isn't designed to do it, so let's don't touch it.
2:Check for too long commit id too.
3:Check for title line mismatch too.
4:Move invalid commit id check for 'Fixes:' tag from UNKNOWN_COMMIT_ID to FIXES_TAG checker.
5:Reword the error message (Markus Elfring).
6:Reword the commit log (Markus Elfring).

v1-v2:
1: Reword commit log (Markus Elfring).
2: Allow more than 12 characters of SHA-1 id (Markus Elfring).
3: Update the error message according to reflect the second update.
4: Add missing (?:...).
