Igor Opaniuk d3d806cbe3 checkpatch: Run per-commit range checks locally and in CI ...

Until now checkpatch had two divergent code paths: the local meson
'check' target ran 'checkpatch.pl --no-tree -f' against every tracked
source file, while the CI workflow used the webispy/checkpatch-action
action, which runs checkpatch in patch mode against each commit in the
PR. The two modes report different defects -- in particular, file mode
flags style issues in long-untouched code and skips commit-log checks,
while patch mode validates the commit message (Signed-off-by, subject
length, ...) and only inspects added/changed lines. Contributors could
end up with a green local 'check' but a red CI run, and vice versa.

Introduce a 'check-range' mode in scripts/checkpatch_wrapper.sh that
mirrors what the GitHub Action does: iterate over every commit in
CHECKPATCH_BASE..CHECKPATCH_HEAD (defaulting to origin/master..HEAD),
feed each commit through 'git format-patch -1 --stdout' and pipe the
result into checkpatch.pl. All commits are processed even on failure
so the user sees every offending commit in one go.

Expose the new mode as a meson run_target ('meson compile check-range
-C build') and switch the CI workflow to invoke the wrapper directly
with the PR base/head SHAs, so local and CI invocations exercise the
exact same code path. Document the new target in README under the
Contributing section.
