check-code: improve test-check-code error diffs
Whenever check-code finds something wrong, the diffs it
generated were fairly hard to read.
The problem is that check-code before this change
would list files that were white listed using
no- check- code but without a glob marker.
Whereas, the test-check-code.t expected output has
no-che?k-code (glob) in order to avoid having itself
flagged as a file to skip.
Thus, in addition to any lines relating to things you
did wrong, all of the white-listed files are listed as
changed.
There is no reason for things to be this painful.
This change makes the output from check-code.py match
the expected output in test-check-code.t
