[PATCH V2] checkpatch: Allow --fix removal of unnecessary break statements

[Joe Perches]

switch/case use of break after a return, goto or break is unnecessary.

There is an existing warning for the return and goto uses, so add
break and a --fix option too.

v2: Add break to matched keyword
    and change the message to show the matched keyword
 
For today's next, this would remove ~300 instances like:

	case FOO:
		return bar;
		break;
or
	case FOO:
		goto bar;
		break;
