Subject[PATCH] checkpatch: allow URL >80 chars
From
Date
Allow URL to exceed the 80 char limit for improved interaction in
adaption to ongoing but undocumented practice.

$ git grep -E '://\S{77}.*' -- '*.[ch]'

The patch checks that the URL is indeed on its own line in that it
allows a maximal prefix of 4 characters to account for a URL after a
comment (e.g. ' // https://...')

The URL format allows for up to 5 protocol characters before the
separator :// (e.g. https, git, ...). Additionally, an URL starting
with a "domain.tld" or "subdomain.domain" pattern (e.g.
'www.kernel.org') is also accepted.

$rawline is used in the check as comments are removed from $line.
