[PATCH v3 0/9] scripts/checkpatch: fix SPDX-License-Identifier detection

["Daniel P. Berrangé" <berrange@redhat.com>]

This is hugely expanded an update of

  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2025-05/msg02040.html

In that series, Peter suggested creating standalone methods to act
as hooks to call when detecting the start/end of a file in a diff.

This implements that idea and adapts a number of existing checks
to use the new hooks.

Changed in v3:

 - Add check for redundent license boilerplate text
 - Fix check for Makefile names
