[PATCH 01/24] Makefile: add pending semantic patches

From: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com>

There are basically two main use cases for semantic patches:

      - To avoid undesirable code patterns, e.g. we should not use
        sha1_to_hex(oid.hash) or strbuf_addf(&sb, "fixed string"), but
        use oid_to_hex(&oid) or strbuf_addstr(&sb, "fixed string")
        instead.  Note that in these cases we don't remove the
        functions sha1_to_hex() or strbuf_addf(), because there are
        good reasons to use them in other scenarios.

        Our semantic patches under 'contrib/coccinelle/' fall into
        this category, and we have 'make coccicheck' and the static
        analysis build job on Travis CI to catch these undesirable
        code patterns preferably early, and to prevent them from
        entering our codebase.

      - To perform one-off code transformations, e.g. to modify a
        function's name and/or signature and convert all its
        callsites; see e.g. commits abef9020e3 (sha1_file: convert
        sha1_object_info* to object_id, 2018-03-12) and b4f5aca40e
        (sha1_file: convert read_sha1_file to struct object_id,
        2018-03-12).

To allows semantic patches of the second category, we'll introduce the concept of "pending" semantic patches, stored in 'contrib/coccinelle/<name>.pending.cocci' files, modifying 'make coccicheck' to skip them, and adding the new 'make coccicheck-pending' target to make it convenient to apply them.
