scripts/checkpatch: introduce tracking of file start/end

Some checks want to be performed either at the start of a new file
within a patch, or at the end. This is complicated by the fact that
the information relevant to the check may be spread across multiple
lines. It is further complicated by a need to support both git and
non-git diffs, and special handling for renames where there might
not be any patch hunks.

To handle this more sanely, introduce explicit tracking of file
start/end, taking account of git metadata, and calling a hook
function at each transition.
