In order for cppcheck to perform a proper analysis it needs to be
aware of how the sources are compiled (source files, include
paths/files, extra defines, etc). All the needed information is
available from the Makefiles and can be leveraged with a generic
cppcheck Makefile target. So let's add one.
Additional minor changes:
* Removing the cppcheck-suppressions.txt file. With cppcheck 2.3
and these changes it appears to no longer be needed. Some inline
suppressions were also removed since they appear not to be
needed. We can add them back if it turns out they're needed
for older versions of cppcheck.
* Added the ax_count_cpus m4 macro to detect at configure time how
many processors are available in order to run multiple cppcheck
jobs. This value is also now used as a replacement for nproc
when executing the kernel interface checks.
* "PHONY =" line moved in to the Rules.am file which is included
at the top of all Makefile.am's. This is just convenient becase
it allows us to use the += syntax to add phony targets.
* One upside of this integration worth mentioning is it now allows
`make cppcheck` to be run in any directory to check that subtree.
* For the moment, cppcheck is not run against the FreeBSD specific
kernel sources. The cppcheck-FreeBSD target will need to be
implemented and testing on FreeBSD to support this.
