2020-12-13CODING_STYLE.rst: Be less strict about 80 character limitPeter Maydell1-2/+7
Relax the wording about line lengths a little bit; this goes with the checkpatch changes to warn at 100 characters rather than 80. (Compare the Linux kernel commit bdc48fa11e46f8; our coding style is not theirs, but the rationale is good and applies to us too.)

2019-09-05docs: merge HACKING.rst contents into CODING_STYLE.rstDaniel P. Berrangé1-0/+296
The split of information between the two docs is rather arbitary and unclear. It is simpler for contributors if all the information is in one file. Reviewed-by: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
