Documentation/CodingStyle: Use directory-local variables for emacs settings
In emacs 23.1 support for directory-local variables was added (see also https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2009-07/msg00000.html). Simplify the settings in coding-style.rst by using that feature. Additionally, do not inherit any settings from emacs' linux coding style to minimize dependencies on the version of emacs that is being used. I have verified with several large and nontrivial kernel source files that the new settings format code according to what checkpatch expects.
