Add checks for switch statement indentation to cpplint

Switch statements have strong similarities to namespaces when it comes to indentation, so I stole from my previous patch (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27461) and adapted some parts to implement style guideline #5 from http://webkit.org/coding/coding-style.html to cpplint. Looking for a motivated reviewer, hope you like it!

Apart from that, same patch as the previous one.

In general it looks good but I think it will have problems on nested switch statements. What can be done about that?

Add checks for switch statement indentation to cpplint (try 3)

Good point, I had not thought of that case. Here's a relatively simple solution that'll work in pretty much all common cases, approach explained in the code comments. Plus more test cases. Is that good enough, or does it need to be perfect?

This is an improvement over what we have now and seems to minimize the possibility of false alarms (with respect to nested switch statements), so it seems like a positive step forward.
