[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/3] devtools: standardize script arguments

[Ciara Power]

This patch modifies the arguments expected by the check-git-log script,
to match the format of arguments for the checkpatches script. Both
scripts now take certain argument options in the same format, making
them easier to use.
e.g. Both now take a commit ID range by "-r <range>"

The checkpatches help print is also updated to include the "-h" option.

v3:
  - Reworded check-git-log help text example.
  - Added comment to indicate new and old format argument parsing.
v2: Added exit 0 after print usage.
