Documentation: Adjust guidelines regarding math.h header
While libcamera prefers usage of the C standard library headers (xxx.h) over the C++ version (cxxx), we make an exception for cmath as the overloaded versions of the math functions are convenient. Document this, and adjust checkstyle.py accordingly.

|

Usage of the C compatibility headers is preferred, except for the math.h header.
|
||||
Where math.h defines separate functions for different argument types (e.g.
|
||||
abs(int), labs(long int), fabs(double) and fabsf(float)) and requires the
|
||||
developer to pick the right function, cmath defines overloaded functions
|
||||
(std::abs(int), std::abs(long int), std::abs(double) and std::abs(float) to let
|
||||
the compiler select the right function. This avoids potential errors such as
|
||||
calling abs(int) with a float argument, performing an unwanted implicit integer
|
||||
conversion. For this reason, cmath is preferred over math.h.
