checkpatch: add test for commit id formatting style in commit log
Commit logs have various forms of commit id references.
Try to standardize on a 12 character long lower case commit id along
with a description of parentheses and the quoted subject line.
ie: commit 0123456789ab ("commit description")
If git and a git tree exists, look up the commit id and emit the
appropriate line as part of the message.
