[RFC PATCH 2/5] [WIP]cppcheck: rework exclusion_file_list.py code

[Luca Fancellu <luca.fancellu@xxxxxxx>]

Rework the exclusion_file_list.py code to have the function
load_exclusion_file_list() detached from the xen-analysis.py tool,
in a way so that other modules can use the function.
The xen-analysis tool and in particular its module cppcheck_analysis.py
will use a new function cppcheck_exclusion_file_list().

No functional changes are intended.

TBD: Read the field in each entry and act accordingly.
