[PATCH] doc: process: Add "Root-caused-by" and "Suggested-by"

[Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>]

As recently pointed out by Linus, "Root-caused-by" is a good tag to include
since it can indicate significantly more work than "just" a Reported-by.
This adds it and "Suggested-by" (which was also missing) to the documented
list of tags. Additionally updates checkpatch.pl to match the process docs.
