checkpatch: fix left brace warning

Using checkpatch.pl with Perl 5.22.0 generates the following warning:

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex;

This patch fixes the warnings by escaping occurrences of the left brace
inside the regular expression.

Adapt it for U-Boot.

checkpatch: remove unnecessary + after {8,8}

There's a useless "+" use that needs to be removed as perl 5.20 emits a
"Useless use of greediness modifier '+'" message each time it's hit.

Update to v3.14-rc4's version of checkpatch.pl.  In doing so we drop the
changes to top_of_kernel_tree() as we pass in --no-tree and drop our
changes about MAINTAINERS as that's for reporting checkpatch.pl problems
itself (and upstream has said they'll reword this section to be
clearer).

While there are valid reasons to use __packed, often the answer is that
you should be doing something else here instead.

We have some scripts imported from Linux Kernel:
setlocalversion, checkstack.pl, checkpatch.pl, cleanpatch

They are located under tools/ directory in U-Boot now.
But they were originally located under scripts/ directory
in Linux Kernel.

This commit moves them to the original location.

It is true that binutils-version.sh and dtc-version.sh
do not originate in Linux Kernel, but they should
be moved by analogy to gcc-version.sh.
