[PATCH] checkpatch: Verify SPDX comment style

[Joe Perches]

Using SPDX commenting style // or /* is specified for
various file types in Documentation/process/license-rules.rst
so add an appropriate test for .[chsS] files because many
proposed file additions and patches do not use the correct style.
