[PATCH] checkpatch: v3 - Make some text more consinstent and informative

[Paolo Ciarrocchi]

Hi Andy,
Now messages about missing spaces or not needed spaces are in the format:
space is required
space is not required

New in v2: Fix some spelling mistakes noted by Joe Perches.
New in v3: Fix a spelling error reported by Roel Kluin
