kconfig: do not reparent the menu inside a choice block

The boolean 'choice' is used to list exclusively selected config
options.

You must not add a dependency between choice members, because such a
dependency would create an invisible entry.

In the following test case, it is impossible to choose 'C'.

[Test Case 1]

choice
prompt "Choose one, but how to choose C?"

config A
bool "A"

config B
bool "B"

config C
bool "C"
depends on A

endchoice

Hence, Kconfig shows the following error message:

Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected!
Kconfig:1: choice <choice> contains symbol C
Kconfig:10: symbol C is part of choice A
Kconfig:4: symbol A is part of choice <choice>
For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst
subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations"

However, Kconfig does not report anything for the following similar code:

[Test Case 2]

choice
prompt "Choose one, but how to choose B?"

config A
bool "A"

config B
bool "B"
depends on A

config C
bool "C"

endchoice

This is because menu_finalize() reparents the menu tree when an entry
depends on the preceding one.

With reparenting, the menu tree:

choice
|- A
|- B
\- C

... will be transformed into the following structure:

choice
|- A
| \- B
\- C

Consequently, Kconfig considers only 'A' and 'C' as choice members.
This behavior is awkward. The second test case should be an error too.

This commit stops reparenting inside a choice.

kconfig: remove named choice support

Commit 5a1aa8a1aff6 ("kconfig: add named choice group") did not provide
enough explanation regarding its benefits. A use case was found in
another project [1] sometime later, this feature has never been used in
the kernel.

kconfig: print recursive dependency errors in the parsed order

for_all_symbols() iterates in the symbol hash table. The order of
iteration depends on the hash table implementation.

If you use it for printing errors, they are shown in random order.

For example, the order of following test input and the corresponding
error do not match:
- scripts/kconfig/tests/err_recursive_dep/Kconfig
- scripts/kconfig/tests/err_recursive_dep/expected_stderr

kconfig: do not delay the cur_filename update

Currently, cur_filename is updated at the first token of each statement.
However, this seems unnecessary based on my understanding; the parser

kconfig: fix off-by-one in zconf_error()

yyerror() reports the line number of the next line.

This +1 adjustment was introduced more than 20 years ago [1]. At that
time, the line number was decremented then incremented back and forth.

The line number management was refactored in a more maintainable way.
Such compensation is no longer needed.

sym_change_count has no good reason to be 'int' type.

kconfig: change defconfig_list option to environment variable

"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that
declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not
exist yet.

This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the
"string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files.
They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in
the parse stage.

It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing
this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach.

kconfig: allow only 'config', 'comment', and 'if' inside 'choice'

The code block surrounded by 'if' ... 'endif' is reduced into if_stmt,
which is accepted in the 'choice' context. Therefore, you can write any
statements within a choice block by wrapping 'if y' ... 'end'.

For example, you can create a menu inside a choice, like follows:

---------------->8----------------
choice
prompt "choice"

config A
bool "A"

config B
bool "B"

if y

menu "strange menu"

config C
bool "C"

endmenu

endif

endchoice
---------------->8----------------

I want to change such a weird structure into a syntax error.

In fact, the USB gadget Kconfig had used nested 'choice' for no good
reason until commit df8df5e4bc37 ("usb: get rid of 'choice' for
legacy gadget drivers") killed it.

I think the 'source' inside 'choice' is on the fence. It is at least
gramatically sensible as long as the included file contains only
bool/tristate configs. However, it makes the code unreadable, and people
tend to forget the fact that the file is included from the choice
block. Commit 10e5e6c24963 ("usb: gadget: move choice ... endchoice to
legacy/Kconfig") got rid of the only usecase.

Going forward, you can only use 'config', 'comment', and 'if' inside
'choice'. This also recursively applies to 'if' blocks inside 'choice'.

kconfig: drop T_WORD from the RHS of 'prompt' symbol

Commit 8636a1f9677d ("treewide: surround Kconfig file paths with double
quotes") killed use-cases to reduce an unquoted string into the 'prompt'
symbol.

Kconfig still allows to use an unquoted string in the context of menu,
source, or prompt.

So, you can omit quoting if the prompt is a single word:

bool foo

..., but I do not think this is so useful.

Let's require quoting:

bool "foo"

All the Kconfig files in the kernel are written in this way.

Remove the T_WORD from the right-hand side of the symbol 'prompt'.
