gitlint: allow Fixes to exceed line length
The Kernel convention for "Fixes" directives is as follows[1]:
```
If your patch fixes a bug in a specific commit, e.g. you found an issue
using git bisect, please use the ‘Fixes:’ tag with the first 12
characters of the SHA-1 ID, and the one line summary. Do not split the
tag across multiple lines, tags are exempt from the “wrap at 75
columns” rule in order to simplify parsing scripts.
```
Some repositories follow this convention, so allow it in the commit
message by ignoring lines that start with "Fixes:".
