We didn't specify the indent rule for multiline code here, which may
misleading users. And in current code, the code use different rules.

Add this rule in CODING_STYLE to make sure this is clear to every one.

+1.1 Multiline Indent
+
+There are several places where indent is necessary:
+
+ - struct definition
+ - if/else
+ - while/for
+ - function definition & call
+
+When breaking up a long line to fit within line widths, align the secondary
+lines just after the opening parenthesis of the first.
+
+For example:
+
+    if (a == 1 &&
+        b == 2) {
+
+    while (a == 1 &&

 2. Line width
 
 Lines should be 80 characters; try not to make them longer.
