[PATCH] docs/dev-tools: fix a broken URL in dev-tools/coccinelle.rst

[LIU Haoyang]

The original supplemental documentation for coccicheck is
https://bottest.wiki.kernel.org/coccicheck, which redirects to a not found page,
thus change it to https://bottest.wiki.kernel.org/coccicheck.html,
which adds a suffix to original URL to make it direct to the right page.

I'll apply this - a working URL is better than a broken one.  But is
there really nothing better to link to than a page that warns "OBSOLETE
CONTENT" at the top?

Thanks,

jon

Dear Jon,

Unfortunately, I do not find any other documents about this script, so I 
have to use it even though it's obsolete.

Haoyang

Hi,

Maybe we can just throw away that section of "Supplemental 
documentation" and its link ?

Nowadays, there is much more SmPL provided, and the rst file
describes better and up-to-date information.

Would a link to
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/coccinelle.html
be useful to point to latest version ?

Sincerely,

OK, thanks.

There is also an out of date URL in that page.  I will send a patch.
