[RFC PATCH 0/7] scripts: convert seven more Perl utilities to Python

[Breno Rodrigues Alves]

This series converts seven more Perl utilities in scripts/ to
Python 3, following the checkpatch.py + bootgraph.py +
checkincludes.py + markup_oops.py + profile2linkerlist.py
series already submitted.

Each conversion is a faithful 1:1 port: same CLI, same output,
same behavior. All use only the Python standard library.

The seven scripts are:
  - checkdeclares.pl          -> checkdeclares.py
  - checkversion.pl           -> checkversion.py
  - extract_xc3028.pl         -> extract_xc3028.py
  - generate_initcall_order.pl -> generate_initcall_order.py
  - get_maintainer.pl         -> get_maintainer.py
  - leaking_addresses.pl      -> leaking_addresses.py
  - recordmcount.pl           -> recordmcount.py

Verified byte-for-byte identical to the Perl versions for the
scripts that have deterministic output. recordmcount.py tested
for x86_64 and arm64.

Not implemented in get_maintainer.py: --interactive, --self-test,
--git-blame. These can be added in follow-up patches.
