We didn't specify the indent rule for multiline code here, which may
mislead 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.

v3:
   * misleading -> mislead
   * add comma after arg2 in example
v2:
   * rephrase changelog suggested by Eric Blake
     - remove one redundant line
     - fix some awkward grammar
     - add { ; at the end of example

there is also another widely used acceptable pattern
  func_name(arg1, arg2,
      arg3)

where we indent relative to function name start
(sound weird to me but I'm not sure how to word it properly)

Hmm... we may need to add this exception case.

+1.1 Multiline Indent
+
+There are several places where indent is necessary:

+ - if/else
+ - while/for

+
+When breaking up a long line to fit within line widths, align the secondary

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