checkpatch: add ability to insert and delete lines to patch/file
This can be valuable to insert or delete blank lines as well as fix misplaced brace or else uses. Store indexes of lines to be added/deleted and the new lines. When creating the --fix file, insert or delete the appropriate lines and update the patch range information.
