Teach `make coccicheck` to avoid patches named "*.pending.cocci" and
handle them separately in a new `make coccicheck-pending` instead.
This means that we can separate "critical" patches from "FYI" patches.
The former target can continue causing Travis to fail its static
analysis job, while the latter can let us keep an eye on ongoing
(pending) transitions without them causing too much fallout.
Document the intended use-cases around these two targets.
As the process around the pending patches is not yet fully explored,
leave that out.

Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) is a program which performs
mechanical transformations on C programs using semantic patches. These
semantic patches can be used to implement automatic refactoring and
maintenance tasks.
Add a set of basic semantic patches to convert common patterns related
to the struct object_id transformation, as well as a README.
