Add form to test pasted code [#331906]

I'm working on checking all the code snippets from handbook for standards compliance. To make that work, I've created a shell module into which I'm pasting snippet code so I can then check it with coder. It would make life much easier if coder provided a text area in the interface to input arbitrary code for checking.

This could be enhanced with a separate button that invokes coder_format on the pasted input, which would reformat the pasted code instead of reviewing it.

It should be possible I think if you use the patch review text box. The only catch is that you may need to add a "@@..." line like you would have in a properly formatted patch.

Using the patch checker appears to require at least one file reference and the @@ line. The excerpt below works, but fails (no failure message, just no outcome) if the +++common.inc line is removed
