Add --max-file-size option (default off) to limit size of files
that checkpatch processes. Such an option is useful when checkpatch
is run automatically during checkins to a source control system and
someone acccidently or purposely attempt to commit massive size files
to the system. If the checkpatch script runs on such files it could take
a long time to run and limit the server's ability to perform other
operations.
