[PATCH v3 0/8] clang-format: add more rules and enable on CI

This is v3 of my series to add clang-format to the CI.

The series was mostly inspired by a patch sent recently to 'include kh_foreach* macros in ForEachMacros' [1]. I was wondering why we don't run the formatting on CI and reduce some of the workload of reviewers.

We have a '.clang-format' file to provide rules for code formatting. The commits 1-5 aims to add more rules to the file while deprecating old ones.

Commit 6 enables CI action on GitHub and GitLab to also check for the code formatting. Currently, it is allowed to fail. This way we can build confidence and fine tune the values as needed and finally enforce the check in a future patch. I'm not well versed with GitHub workflows, and I mostly tried to copy existing work there. Expecting some feedback in that section!

Commit 7 fixes an existing issue with the 'check-whitespace' job, which is failing as success in the GitLab CI.

Commit 8 adds the `RemoveBracesLLVM` only in the context of the CI. If we decide against it, we could drop this commit from the series.

1: https://lore.kernel.org/git/4e7893f5-2dd9-46cf-8a64-cf780f4e1730@web.de/
Changes against v2:
* Dropped the commit to add 'RemoveBracesLLVM' to the in-tree '.clang-format'.
Now, we only add it in the CI context.
* Added comments for the reasoning and picking of the ENV variables in GitLab's
CI. Also changed the syntax to be more readable.

  clang-format: formalize some of the spacing rules
  ci: run style check on GitHub and GitLab
  check-whitespace: detect if no base_commit is provided
