Currently coccicheck prints debug logs to stdout unless a debug file has been set. This makes it hard to read coccinelle's suggested changes, especially for someone new to coccicheck.
This patchset documents this behaviour in both the coccicheck script as well as in the dev-tools documentation. Additionally, it simplifies some of the logic for handling debug files.
