script/checkpatch.pl: warn about deprecated use of EXTRA_{A,C,CPP,LD}FLAGS

Usage of these flags has been deprecated for nearly 4 years by:

    commit f77bf014

        kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y

Moreover, these flags (at least EXTRA_CFLAGS) have been documented for command
line use. By default, gmake(1) do not override command line setting, so this is
likely to result in build failure or unexpected behavior.

Warn about their introduction in Makefile or Kbuild files.
