scripts/checkpatch: Support codespell checking

Add two spelling check options (--codespell and --codespellfile) to
enhance spelling check through dictionary, which copied the Linux
kernel's implementation in checkpatch.pl.

This check uses the dictionary at "/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt"
by default, if there is no dictionary specified under this path, it
will look for the dictionary of python3's codespell (This requires user
to add python3's path in environment variable $PATH, and to install
codespell by "pip install codespell").
