coccicheck: replace --very-quiet with --quiet when debugging
When debugging (using --profile or --show-trying) you want to avoid supressing output, use --quiet instead. While at it, extend documentation for SPFLAGS use. For instance one can use: $ export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/misc/irqf_oneshot.cocci $ make coccicheck DEBUG_FILE="poo.err" MODE=report SPFLAGS="--profile --show-trying" M=./drivers/mfd/arizona-irq.c Expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt as well. v4: expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt v3: rebased, resolve conflicts, expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt v2: use egrep instead of the *"=--option"* check, this doesn't work for disjunctions.

+# A good example for use of SPFLAGS is if you want to debug your cocci script,
+# you can for instance use the following:
+#
+# $ export COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/misc/irqf_oneshot.cocci
+# $ make coccicheck MODE=report DEBUG_FILE="all.err" SPFLAGS="--profile --show-trying" M=./drivers/mfd/arizona-irq.c
+#
+# "--show-trying" should show you what rule is being processed as it goes to
+# stdout, you do not need a debug file for that. The profile output will be
+# be sent to stdout, if you provide a DEBUG_FILE the profiling data can be
+# inspected there.
+#
+# --profile will not output if --very-quiet is used, so avoid it.
