Allow prefixing typical strings with L for wide strings and u for
unicode strings.

It likely wasn't applied because it did not show up in patchwork
correctly, due to the patch being inline:

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/842121/

In any case, it needed rebasing and updating to support 'u'.

I sent this upstream:

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1470668/

Changes in v3:
- Mention the link to the new upstream patch

Changes in v2:
- Add new patch to reduce checkpatch unicode-string spam
