Make run-webkit-lint supports files as arguments

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Make run-webkit-lint supports files as arguments so that we dont need to call
python WebKitTools/Scripts/modules/cpplint.py on individual files.

Patch coming up.

Thanks for the patch.  This is a nice addition.

Just a few things to address at the moment.

Well, first off, sorry, I changed the name of the tool on you. So if you would switch the patch over to check-webkit-style, that would be excellent.

fwiw, you don't need to request me as the reviewer - Adam has been also reviewing these and doing a great job (The funny thing is that it delayed your review because I typically scan the general queue -- not used to being asked for by name). cc'ing me did get my attention though :)

Please fix up "cpplint._USAGE" to reflect the fact that you may optionally pass in files.

What should happen if the user passes in --git-commit and files?  (Personally I recommend something simple like an error message that you need to choose one or the other.)

> +                                               'replace')

If this is useful (and I think it is), it seems like it would be needed for both code paths, so I'd move this outside of the "if".

I'm willing to do these changes, but I'd like to know how you feel about the "consider" comments.

Consider:
  The file parameter is optional and multiple files to scan may be passed in

> +  out the file parameter will apply the check to the files currently not

Consider:
  out the file parameter will apply the check to the files changed 
  according to the scm system.

Make this an "if" since the pre if "exits".

I feel fine about these changes.
