 Make it possible to turn whitespace-mode only when there are no
 existing problems
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:19:27 -0000

I’ve thought about the approach taken by my original patch and
concluded that it’s wrong: better not to split
whitespace-report-region, but instead allow it not to report. If the
report parameter (renamed from report-if-bogus) is 'never, then it
does not report any problem.

I’ve updated the docstring describing whitespace problems to common up
the indent-tabs-mode true/false lists as promised.

The unconditional updating of whitespace-style remains.

Patch follows.
