GSoC 2020 Suppression Patch Filter Report

https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/wiki/Checkstyle-GSoC-2020-Project-Ideas#project-name-patch-suppression

Description: Introducing Checkstyle to a project can be a challenging and NOT an easy job, especially when a project has massive amount of code, very active in development, and there are no resources to start a new process of code cleanup. Checkstyle needs a new approach for filtering violations, which should be based on the diff details of the last commit. With this, users will only need to fix violations only in newly created or changed code. It could be configurable to skip changed lines and and only show violations in purely new code.
