checkstyle tool usage

[Doug Simon]

Hi Roman,

We are indeed users (and fans!) of Checkstyle on the Graal project. We’ve defined our own style checks independent of any guidelines the JDK team uses. What's more, our style is expressed solely in Checkstyle configurations[1][2] and has no corresponding style guide document.
