8dbf740f8 [scripts] lint-whitespace: check last N commits or unstaged changes (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
E.g. before you push three commits to Github and upset Travis, check if you didn't make any whitespace mistakes:
```sh
contrib/devtools/lint-whitespace.sh 3
```
This is slightly more convenient than doing:
```sh
TRAVIS_COMMIT_RANGE=HEAD~3...HEAD contrib/devtools/lint-whitespace.sh
```

40b17f5f9 [scripts] lint-whitespace: use perl instead of grep -P (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
MacOS does not support `grep -P` out of the box. This change makes
it easier for developers to check for whitespace problems locally.
Based on [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/16658690) and [this](https://serverfault.com/a/504387) Stack Exchange answer.
Tested with:
```sh
export TRAVIS_COMMIT_RANGE='fe78c9a...62e0453'
contrib/devtools/lint-whitespace.sh
This diff appears to have added new lines with tab characters instead of spaces.
The following changes were suspected:
diff --git a/src/test/bignum_tests.cpp b/src/test/bignum_tests.cpp

Lint checks should not test these, they are historical documents,
and we don't want to encourage silly changes to them to satisfy
a checker.
Hopefully makes travis pass again on master.

This adds a new CHECK_DOC check that looks for newly introduced trailing
whitespace. Existing trailing whitespace (of which there is plenty!)
will not trigger an error.
This is written in a generic way so that new lint-*.sh scripts can be
added to contrib/devtools/, as I'd like to contribute additional lint
checks in the future.
