checkpatch.pl: add check for Change-Id
A commit hook for the Gerrit code review server [1] inserts change
identifiers so Gerrit can track patches through multiple revisions.
These identifiers are noise in the context of the upstream kernel.
(Many Gerrit servers are private. Even given a public instance, given
only a Change-Id, one must guess which server a change was tracked on.
Patches submitted to the Linux kernel mailing lists should be able to
stand on their own. If it's truly useful to reference code review on a
Gerrit server, a URL is a much clearer way to do so.) Thus, issue an
error when a Change-Id line is encountered before the Signed-off-by.
