checkpatch: warn if missing author Signed-off-by

Browse Source 
Print a warning if none of the Signed-off-by lines cover the patch author.

Non-ASCII quoted printable encoding in From: headers and (lack of) double
quotes are handled.  Split From: headers are not fully handled: only the
first part is compared.
