[Introduction]

The motivation of this work is to move the compiler option tests to
Kconfig from Makefile.  A number of kernel features require the
compiler support.  Enabling such features blindly in Kconfig ends up
with a lot of nasty build-time testing in Makefiles.  If a chosen
feature turns out unsupported by the compiler, what the build system
can do is either to disable it (silently!) or to forcibly break the
build, despite Kconfig has let the user to enable it.  By moving the
compiler capability tests to Kconfig, Kconfig entries will be visible
only when they are available.

[Major Changes in V4]

 - In V4, I slightly change the syntax of a function call.
   I chose grammatical consistency and simplicity.
   Anyway, Kconfig is deviating from Make behavior already.

   In v3, a function call looked like this:

      $(func-name arg1,arg2,arg3)

   In v4, a function is invoked like follows:

      $(func-name,arg1,arg2,arg3)

   The difference is that the function name and the first argument
   are separated by a comma.

 - V3 supported single-letter variable like $X.
   V4 dropped it because we do not need multiple ways to do the
   same thing.
   You must always enclose a variable name like $(X).

 - Support lazy argument expansion.  This is necessary for implementing
   'if', 'and', 'or' functions as in Make.

 - Add more built-in functions:
   'if', 'error', 'filename', 'lineno'

 - Error out if a recursive variable references itself eventually.
   For example,  X = $(X)
   ends up with a circular expansion.  It must be terminated
   since the expansion would continue eternally.

 - Update Documentation and unit-tests, accordingly.

[Major Changes in V3]

This version looks more like Make.

  - Use = operator instead of 'macro' keyword
    to define a user-defined function.

  - 'Recursively expanded variable' is implemented as a side-effect.
     A variable is a function with zero argument.

  - Support simply expanded variable which is defined by := operator

  - Support += operator.
    Probably, this feature will be useful to accumulate compiler flags.
    At least, Clang needs some prerequisite flags such as triplet
    to test other compiler flags.

  - Support $(info ...) and $(warning ...) built-in functions,
    which were useful while I was debugging this.

  - Add documentation

  - Add unit tests

  - Collect helpers to scripts/Kconfig.include
