Linux kernel coding style requires a size of 8 characters for
both TAB and indentation, and such value is embedded as magic
value allover the checkpatch script.
This makes hard to reuse the script by other projects with
different requirements in their coding style (e.g. OpenOCD [1]
requires TAB size of 4 characters [2]).
Replace the magic value 8 with a variable.
Add a command-line option "--tab-size" to let the user select a
TAB size value other than 8.

v1 -> v2
add the command line option
v2 -> v3
rewrite commit msg to remove script readability issue
v3 -> v4
check for command line value positive
v4 -> v5
exclude --tab-size=1
