[PATCH v3] scripts: checkpatch: warn on Rust panicking methods

[Jason Hall <jason.kei.hall@gmail.com>]

Added regex check in checkpatch.pl for common Rust panicking methods
like unwrap() and expect().

Allowed an exception if the line contains a '// PANIC:' comment.

Hi, Joe,

I updated the regex, and I looked at Ryan Foster's patch.  These two PANIC
checks don't seem to interfere with each other as far as I can see.
---
v3:
 - Using non-capturing groups (?:) to optimize regex.
v2:
 - Switched from \b to (\.|::) to avoid false positives in strings.
 - Added : to PANIC comment check.
