style: Change maximum line length to 79 characters

The old style guide used to mandate 78 characters as the maximum line
length to accommodate traditional diffs on 80-column terminals. This
is an uncommon use case and it has therefore been decided (see email
thread on gem5-dev [1]) that a maximum length of 79-characters makes
more sense.
