[PATCH v2] checkpatch: don't complain on _Generic() use

From: Przemek Kitszel
Date: Tue Dec 05 2023 - 06:05:59 EST


Improve CamelCase recognition logic to avoid reporting on _Generic() use.

Other C keywords, such as _Bool, are intentionally omitted, as those
should be rather avoided in new source code.

v2: _Static_assert dropped from the scope;
