93449082e9 kconfig: environment symbol support
Add the possibility to import a value from the environment into kconfig
via the option syntax. Beside flexibility this has the advantage
providing proper dependencies.
Documented the options syntax.

a67cb1319f kconfig: fix segv fault in menuconfig
With specific configurations requesting help for certain
menu lines caused menuconfig to crash.
This was tracked down to a null pointer bug.
Thanks to "Miles Lane" <miles.lane@gmail.com> for inital reporting
and to Gabriel C <nix.or.die@googlemail.com> for the backtrace
that helped me locating the bug.

c955ccafc3 kconfig: fix .config dependencies
This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used
to check and regenerate the .config file.  This was done via an indirect
dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make
not to reread the changed .config file.

Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from
.config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies.  It's also
the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus
replaces include/linux/autoconf.h).

This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file
and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e.  silentoldconfig only
writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig
files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

752625cff3 kbuild: always run 'make silentoldconfig' when tree is cleaned
If the file .kconfig.d is missing then make sure to run
'make silentoldconfig', since we have no way to detect if
a Kconfig file has been updated.

-kconfig.d is created by kconfig and is removed as part
of 'make clean' so the situation is likely to occur in reality.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
