CODING_STYLE: allow c99-style mixed code and declarations

We already allowed variables to be declared in the middle of a function
(whenever a new scope was opened), so this isn't such a big change. Sometimes
we would open a scope just to work around this prohibition.

But sometimes the code can be much clearer if the variable is declared
somewhere in the middle of a scope, in particular if the declaration is
combined with initialization or acquisition of some resources. So let's allow
this, but keep things in the old style, unless there's a good reason to move
the variable declaration to a different place.
