kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-y

To build host programs, you need to add the program names to 'hostprogs'
to use the necessary build rule, but it is not enough to build them
because there is no dependency.

There are two types of host programs: built as the prerequisite of
another (e.g. gen_crc32table in lib/Makefile), or always built when
Kbuild visits the Makefile (e.g. genksyms in scripts/genksyms/Makefile).

The latter is typical in Makefiles under scripts/, which contains host
programs globally used during the kernel build. To build them, you need
to add them to both 'hostprogs' and 'always-y'.

This commit adds hostprogs-always-y as a shorthand.

The same applies to user programs. net/bpfilter/Makefile builds
bpfilter_umh on demand, hence always-y is unneeded. In contrast,
programs under samples/ are added to both 'userprogs' and 'always-y'
so they are always built when Kbuild visits the Makefiles.

userprogs-always-y works as a shorthand.

samples: watch_queue: build sample program for target architecture

This userspace program includes UAPI headers exported to usr/include/.
'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same
architecture as the kernel), so the sample program should be built for
the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that.

I also guarded the CONFIG option by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because
$(CC) may not provide libc.

Add sample notification program

The sample program is run like:

./samples/watch_queue/watch_test

and watches "/" for mount changes and the current session keyring for key
changes:

# keyctl add user a a @s
1035096409
# keyctl unlink 1035096409 @s

producing:

# ./watch_test
read() = 16
NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110
KEY 2ffc2e5d change=2[linked] aux=1035096409
read() = 16
NOTIFY[000]: ty=000001 sy=02 i=00000110
KEY 2ffc2e5d change=3[unlinked] aux=1035096409

Other events may be produced, such as with a failing disk:

read() = 22
NOTIFY[000]: ty=000003 sy=02 i=00000416
USB 3-7.7 dev-reset e=0 r=0
read() = 24
NOTIFY[000]: ty=000002 sy=06 i=00000418
BLOCK 00800050 e=6[critical medium] s=64000ef8

This corresponds to:

blk_update_request: critical medium error, dev sdf, sector 1677725432 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0

in dmesg.
