checkpatch: make -f alias --file, add --help, more verbose help message
Impact: - More verbose help/usage message. - Make the option -f an alias for --file. - On -h, --help, and --version display help message and exit(0). - With no FILE(s) given, exit(1) with "no input files". - On invalid options display help/usage and exit(1). Based on a patch by Pavel Machek.
