Add JavaScript style checker and teach checker.py about .js files

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Brian Burg]

We should check WebInspectorUI for trivial style problems using check-webkit-style. The first step is to create a JavaScript checker module and associate it with the .js file extension. As this is intended to check the inspector sources, we should defer on checking layout tests, perf tests, and other things written in JavaScript.

There is no mention in the ChangeLog of handling .css files as text. It also seems weird to put this test in "test_js_paths" and not a "test_css_paths". Looks fine though.

Oops, I don't understand how attachment flags work. Can you set cq+? Also,

This is copied from existing style checkers as a negative test case. IMO, all of the checker constructor unit tests should be deleted since they are pretty useless. But then, I'd get lost deleting a lot of unit tests for lack of purpose.
