scripts/checkpatch: ignore spaces required around some operators in C++

C++ has a different style when it comes to space around references,
dereferences, so don't report it.
Also, closing templates with >> gets wrongly confused with >> operator,
so just relax this check.

Some examples:
ERROR: spaces required around that '&' (ctx:WxV)
+                auto &[counter, p] = *static_cast<TbData*>(udata);
                      ^

ERROR: spaces required around that '*' (ctx:VxO)
+                auto &[counter, p] = *static_cast<TbData*>(udata);
                                                         ^

ERROR: spaces required around that '>>' (ctx:VxW)
+        std::vector<std::pair<Vaddr, uint64_t>> v;                                              ^
