Add Tools/scripts/patchcheck.py. Invoked from ``make check``, the script does
some verification:
- Runs reindent.py on all .py files.
- Checks if any changes in Doc exist.
- Whether Misc/ACKS was changed.
- Whether Misc/NEWS was changed.
The hope is that ``make check`` can become a command anybody can run to get
reminders about what all the requisite steps needed to create a proper
patch/checkin.
