checkpatch: add support for Assisted-by tag
commit d1db4118489fffd2b2f612140b7acbb477880839 upstream.
The Assisted-by tag was introduced in
Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst for attributing AI tool
contributions to kernel patches. However, checkpatch.pl did not recognize
this tag, causing two issues:
WARNING: Non-standard signature: Assisted-by:
ERROR: Unrecognized email address: 'AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION'
Fix this by:
1. Adding Assisted-by to the recognized $signature_tags list
2. Skipping email validation for Assisted-by lines since they use the
AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION format instead of an email address
3. Warning when the Assisted-by value doesn't match the expected format
