[PATCH v9 0/6] add AGENTS.md and scripts for AI code review

Add guidelines and tooling for AI-assisted code review of DPDK
patches.

AGENTS.md provides a two-tier review framework: correctness bugs
(resource leaks, use-after-free, race conditions) are reported at
>=50% confidence; style issues require >80% with false positive
suppression. Mechanical checks handled by checkpatches.sh are
excluded to avoid redundant findings.

The analyze-patch.py script supports multiple AI providers
(Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Google) with mbox splitting, prompt
caching, and direct SMTP sending.

v9 - update AGENTS to reduce false positives
   - remove commit message/SPDX items from prompt (checkpatch's job).
   - update contributing guide text to match actual AGENTS.md coverage.
