CODING_STYLE.rst: Be less strict about 80 character limit 

Relax the wording about line lengths a little bit; this goes with the
checkpatch changes to warn at 100 characters rather than 80.

(Compare the Linux kernel commit bdc48fa11e46f8; our coding style is
not theirs, but the rationale is good and applies to us too.)

Lines should be 80 characters; try not to make them longer.
Sometimes it is hard to do, especially when dealing with QEMU subsystems
that use long function or symbol names. Even in that case, do not make
lines much longer than 80 characters.
that use long function or symbol names. If wrapping the line at 80 columns
is obviously less readable and more awkward, prefer not to wrap it; better
to have an 85 character line than one which is awkwardly wrapped.
Even in that case, try not to make lines much longer than 80 characters.
(The checkpatch script will warn at 100 characters, but this is intended
as a guard against obviously-overlength lines, not a target.)
