[PATCH] add an option to control maximum line length

[PATCH] add an option to control maximum line length

[Albert ARIBAUD]

Some projects or people use checkpatch.pl but want a maximum
line length different from 80: provide option --max-line-length
which expects an integer (defaults to 80) as the length limit.
