checkpatch: allow long lines containing URL
Allow lines with URL to exceed the 80 char limit for improved interaction
in adaption to ongoing but undocumented practice.
$ git grep -E '://\S{77}.*' -- '*.[ch]'
As per RFC3986 [1], the URL format allows for alphanum, +, - and .
characters in the scheme before the separator :// as long as it starts
with a letter (e.g. https, git, f.-+).
Recognition of URIs without more context information is prone to false
positives and thus currently left out of the heuristics.
$rawline is used in the check as comments are removed from $line.
