[PATCH] checkstyle: Work around bug in difflib

If a file misses the newline at the end it gets detected by checkstyle,
but the resulting patch is incorrect and does not apply. It took me a
while to understand that it wasn't me using checkstyle incorrectly, but
that the patch was faulty. The bug itself is in difflib and dates back to
2008.
To reproduce:
- Remove trailing newline from a file
- git add the file
- run ./utils/checkstyle.py -s | patch -p0
