kbuild: do not quote string values in include/config/auto.conf

The previous commit fixed up all shell scripts to not include
include/config/auto.conf.

Now that include/config/auto.conf is only included by Makefiles,
we can change it into a more Make-friendly form.

Previously, Kconfig output string values enclosed with double-quotes
(both in the .config and include/config/auto.conf):

CONFIG_X="foo bar"

Unlike shell, Make handles double-quotes (and single-quotes as well)
verbatim. We must rip them off when used.

There are some patterns:

[1] $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_X))
[2] $(CONFIG_X:"%"=%)
[3] $(subst ",,$(CONFIG_X))
[4] $(shell echo $(CONFIG_X))

These are not only ugly, but also fragile.

[1] and [2] do not work if the value contains spaces, like
CONFIG_X=" foo bar "

[3] does not work correctly if the value contains double-quotes like
CONFIG_X="foo\"bar"

[4] seems to work better, but has a cost of forking a process.

Anyway, quoted strings were always PITA for our Makefiles.

This commit changes Kconfig to stop quoting in include/config/auto.conf.

These are the string type symbols referenced in Makefiles or scripts:

ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
ARC_BUILTIN_DTB_NAME
ARC_TUNE_MCPU
BUILTIN_DTB_SOURCE
CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH
CC_VERSION_TEXT
CFG80211_EXTRA_REGDB_KEYDIR
EXTRA_FIRMWARE
EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR
EXTRA_TARGETS
H8300_BUILTIN_DTB
INITRAMFS_SOURCE
LOCALVERSION
MODULE_SIG_HASH
MODULE_SIG_KEY
NDS32_BUILTIN_DTB
NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE
OPENRISC_BUILTIN_DTB
SOC_CANAAN_K210_DTB_SOURCE
SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST
SYSTEM_REVOCATION_KEYS
SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS
TARGET_CPU
UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST
XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_FAMILY
XILINX_MICROBLAZE0_HW_VER
XTENSA_VARIANT_NAME

I checked them one by one, and fixed up the code where necessary.

firmware_loader: formalize built-in firmware API

Formalize the built-in firmware with a proper API. This can later
be used by other callers where all they need is built-in firmware.

We export the firmware_request_builtin() call for now only
under the TEST_FIRMWARE symbol namespace as there are no
direct modular users for it. If they pop up they are free
to export it generally. Built-in code always gets access to
the callers and we'll demonstrate a hidden user which has been
lurking in the kernel for a while and the reason why using a
proper API was better long term.

firmware_loader: remove unneeded 'comma' macro

Commit 553671b76859 ("firmware_loader: Fix labels with comma for builtin
firmware") added this line, which was unneeded.

The macro 'comma' is defined in scripts/Kbuild.include.

Fix built-in early-load Intel microcode alignment

Intel Software Developer's Manual, volume 3, chapter 9.11.6 says:

"Note that the microcode update must be aligned on a 16-byte boundary
and the size of the microcode update must be 1-KByte granular"

When early-load Intel microcode is loaded from initramfs, userspace tool
'iucode_tool' has already 16-byte aligned those microcode bits in that
initramfs image. Image that was created something like this:

iucode_tool --write-earlyfw=FOO.cpio microcode-files...

However, when early-load Intel microcode is loaded from built-in
firmware BLOB using CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE= kernel config option, that
16-byte alignment is not guaranteed.

Fix this by forcing all built-in firmware BLOBs to 16-byte alignment.

[ If we end up having other firmware with much bigger alignment
requirements, we might need to introduce some method for the firmware
to specify it, this is the minimal "just increase the alignment a bit
to account for this one special case" patch - Linus ]

firmware_loader: Fix labels with comma for builtin firmware

Some firmware images contain a comma, such as:
EXTRA_FIRMWARE "brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt"
as Broadcom firmware simply tags the device tree compatible
string at the end of the firmware parameter file. And the
compatible string contains a comma.

This doesn't play well with gas:

drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.S: Assembler messages:
drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.S:4: Error: bad instruction `_fw_brcm_brcmfmac4334_sdio_samsung,gt_s7710_txt_bin:'

make[6]: *** [../scripts/Makefile.build:357: drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.o] Error 1

We need to get rid of the comma from the labels used by the
assembly stub generator.

Replacing a comma using GNU Make subst requires a helper
variable.

firmware_loader: move firmware/ to drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/

Currently, the 'firmware' directory only contains a single Makefile
to embed extra firmware into the kernel.

Move it to the more relevant place.
