[PATCH] checkpatch: simplify the output of --list-types

From: Jean Delvare
Date: Mon Sep 04 2017 - 04:08:33 EST


Drop the header and numbering of types. This format was confusing as
it suggested one could pass the number instead of the type name,
however it did not actually work, and numbering wasn't stable anyway.
