Documentation/CodingStyle: Use directory-local variables for emacs settings
In emacs 23.1 support for directory-local variables was added (see also
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu-emacs/2009-07/msg00000.html).
Simplify the settings in coding-style.rst by using that feature.
Additionally, do not inherit any settings from emacs' linux coding style
to minimize dependencies on the version of emacs that is being used.
I have verified with several large and nontrivial kernel source files
that the new settings format code according to what checkpatch expects.

This will make emacs go better with the kernel coding style for C
files below ``~/src/linux-trees``.
