Therefore we can: * adjust the editorconfig to use that value, to save editors (e.g. vim) from automatically wrapping lines at 80 characters when typing. [Since python checkers all seem to expect 79 character lines max, add for python only a 79-char max line length.] * change the default line length setting in checkpatches script to 100 so as it matches CI and pre-merge checks. * update the docs to clarify that while 80 chars is recommended, up to 100 characters is acceptable.
