Based on a patch by Rabin Vincent.

Fix building with KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1, which currently does not work
because it does not build built-in.o with no dependencies:

  LD      fs/notify/built-in.o
ld: cannot find fs/notify/dnotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory
ld: cannot find fs/notify/inotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory
ld: cannot find fs/notify/fanotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory

Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the
cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some
other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of
the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function
cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in
the toplevel Makefile.

To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to
distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file
listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional
config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y'
or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in
obj-Y.

Alek reported that on Ubuntu, where dash is used, 'echo -e'
can't work, so let's use non-builtin echo in this case.

The arch/*/boot/Makefile use cc-options to check for GCC command options
and cc-options use the hardened specs when checking for GCC command
options.  When -fPIE is pass to cc1 it can't use -ffreestanding or
-fno-toplevel-reorder.  Then it fail to build stuff with -ffreestanding
and -fno-toplevel-reorder.

Thanks to Fredric Johansson for finding the main problem behind a failed
build using a hardened toolchain.

ld-option is misnamed as it test options to gcc, not to ld.
Renamed it to reflect this.

Convert a few echos in the build system to new $(kecho) so we get correct
output according to build verbosity.

There is a bunch of places in the build system where we do 'echo' to show
some nice status lines.  This means we still get output when running in
silent mode.  So declare a new KECHO variable that only does 'echo' when we
are in a suitable verbose build mode.
