Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason f7ff6597a7 cocci: add a "coccicheck-test" target and test *.cocci rules
Add a "coccicheck-test" target to test our *.cocci rules, and as a
demonstration add tests for the rules added in 39ea59a257 (remove
unnecessary NULL check before free(3), 2016-10-08) and
1b83d1251e (coccinelle: add a rule to make "expression" code use
FREE_AND_NULL(), 2017-06-15).

I considered making use of the "spatch --test" option, and the choice
of a "tests" over a "t" directory is to make these tests compatible
with such a future change.

Unfortunately "spatch --test" doesn't return meaningful exit codes,
AFAICT you need to "grep" its output to see if the *.res is what you
expect. There's "--test-okfailed", but I didn't find a way to sensibly
integrate those (it relies on some in-between status files, but
doesn't help with the status codes).

Instead let's use a "--sp-file" pattern similar to the main
"coccicheck" rule, with the difference that we use and compare the
two *.res files with cmp(1).

The --very-quiet and --no-show-diff options ensure that we don't need
to pipe stdout and stderr somewhere. Unlike the "%.cocci.patch" rule
we're not using the diff.

The "cmp || git diff" is optimistically giving us better output on
failure, but even if we only have POSIX cmp and no system git
installed we'll still fail with the "cmp", just with an error message
that isn't as friendly. The "2>/dev/null" is in case we don't have a
"git" installed.
