We're only interested in files that are committed and pushed to be
included in Mbed TLS, not in any other files that may be lying around.
So ask git for the list of file names.
This script is primarily intended to run on the CI, and there it runs
on a fresh Git checkout plus potentially some other checkouts or
leftovers from a previous part of the CI job. It should also run
reasonably well on developer machines, where there may be various
additional files. In both cases, git is available.
Ad hoc directory exclusions are no longer needed.

Have an explicit list of exemptions for specific checks rather than
whitelisting files to check. Some checks, such as permissions, should
apply to all files.

Check Windows files for some issues, including permissions. Omit the
checks related to special characters (whitespace, line endings,
encoding) as appropriate.

To test a file name exactly, prepend a / to the base name.
files_to_check actually checks suffixes, not file names, so rename it
to extensions_to_check.

Line issue trackers are conceptually a subclass of file issue
trackers: they're file issue trackers where issues arise from checking
each line independently. So make it an actual subclass.
Pylint pointed out the design smell: there was an abstract method that
wasn't always overridden in concrete child classes.
Detect Git merge artifacts. These are lines starting with "<<<<<<",
"|||||||" or ">>>>>>>" followed by a space, or containing just
"=======". For "=======", exempt Markdown files, because this can be
used to underline a title, as a compromise between false negatives and
false positives.
The check-files script contains the strings "TODO" and "todo" in order to
search for files that contain TODO items. So, any check-files script would
need to be excluded from the list of files that gets checked for "TODO".
Normally, the script excludes itself from checks, but with the addition of
the crypto submodule, there is another copy of the script present from the
project root. We must avoid checking check-files scripts for TODO items.
This also helps if you run check-files from another working tree in your
working tree.
Exclude ".git" directories anywhere. This avoids spurious errors in git
checkouts that contain branch names that look like a file
check-files.py would check. Fix#1713
Exclude "mbed-os" anywhere and "examples" from the root. Switch to the
new mechanism to exclude "yotta/module". These are directories where
we store third-party files that do not need to match our preferences.
Exclude "cov-int" from the root. Fix#1691
