[PATCH] add coccinelle script to check the option usage strings

["Abhradeep Chakraborty via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Abhradeep Chakraborty <chakrabortyabhradeep79@gmail.com>

There is no check to see if usage strings for option flags are
following the style guide or not. Style convention says, usage
strings should not start with capital letter (unless needed) and
it should not end with `.`.

Add a coccinelle script to check the option strings against the
style convention.

    add a coccinelle script to check the option usage strings
    
    Fixes #636 [1]
    
    There was a previous patch request
    [https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1147.git.1645030949730.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/]
    where I implemented it in different methods (first version was written
    in bash and the second version was to add some checks in the
    parse-options.c file). But dscho [https://github.com/dscho] was
    confident to use Coccinelle here. So, here is the Coccinelle version.
