checkpatch: adjust to QEMUisms

Change checkpatch.pl for QEMU use:
 - Root directory detection
 - Forbid tabs
 - Indent at 4 spaces
 - Allow typedefs
 - Enforce brace use even for single statement blocks
 - Don't suggest nonexistent cleanup tools

Mention the script in CODING_STYLE.

 Qemu Coding Style
 =================
 
+Please use the script checkpatch.pl in the scripts directory to check
+patches before submitting.

 1. Whitespace
 
 Of course, the most important aspect in any coding style is whitespace.
