When using GNU Make >=4.3, the KBUILD_STR() definition interferes badly
with dependency checks during build, and forces a complete rebuild every
time Make runs.
In if_changed_rule, Kconfig checks if the command used to build a file
has changed since last execution. The previous command is stored in the
generated .<file>.o.cmd file. For example applets/.applets.o.cmd defines
a "cmd_applets/applets.o" variable:
cmd_applets/applets.o := gcc ... -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=#s" ...
Here the '#' should be escaped with a backslash, otherwise GNU Make
interprets it as starting a comment, and ignore the rest of the
variable. As a result of this truncation, the previous command doesn't
equal the new command and Make rebuilds each target.
The problem started to appear when GNU Make 4.3 (released January 2020),
introduced a backward-incompatible fix to macros containing a '#'. While
the above use of '#', a simple Make variable, still needs to be escaped,
a '#' within a function invocation doesn't need to be escaped anymore.
As Martin Dorey explained on the GNU Make discussion [1], the above
declaration is generated from make-cmd, defined as:
make-cmd = $(subst \#,\\\#,$(subst $$,$$$$,$(call escsq,$(cmd_$(1))))
Since GNU Make 4.3, the first argument of subst should not have a
backslash. make-cmd now looks for literally \# and doesn't find it, and
as a result doesn't add the backslash when generating .o.cmd files.

We could fix it by changing make-cmd to "$(subst #,\#,...)", but to
avoid compatibility headaches, simply get rid of the KBUILD_STR
definition, as done in Linux by b42841b7bb62 ("kbuild: Get rid of
KBUILD_STR"). Quote the string arguments directly rather than asking the
preprocessor to quote them.

Embedded scripts require a shell to be present in the BusyBox
binary. Allow either ash or hush to be used for this purpose.
If both are enabled ash takes precedence.
The size of the binary is unchanged in the default configuration:
both ash and hush are present but support for embedded scripts
isn't compiled into hush.

- Force a rebuild if a script in applets_sh is changed.
- Move the dummy usage messages for custom applets to usage.h and
change the name from 'dummy' to 'scripted'.
- Hide an error from gen_build_files.sh if an embed directory exists
but is empty.
- Tidy up embedded_scripts script.
v2: Remove a couple of unnecessary tests in embedded_scripts, as
pointed out by Xabier Oneca.

BusyBox has support for embedded shell scripts. Two types can be
distinguished: custom scripts and scripts implementing applets.
Custom scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory at build
time. They are given a default applet configuration and appear
as applets to the user but no further configuration is possible.
Applet scripts are integrated with the BusyBox build system and
are intended to be used to ship standard applets that just happen
to be implemented as scripts. They can be configured at build time
and appear just like native applets.
Such scripts should be placed in the 'applets_sh' directory. A stub
C program should be written to provide the usual applet configuration
details and placed in a suitable subsystem directory. It may be
helpful to have a configuration option to enable any dependencies the
script requires: see the 'nologin' applet for an example.

To assist in the deployment of shell scripts it may be convenient
to embed them in the BusyBox binary.
'Embed scripts in the binary' takes any files in the directory
'embed', concatenates them with null separators, compresses them
and embeds them in the binary.
When scripts are embedded in the binary, scripts can be run as
'busybox SCRIPT [ARGS]' or by usual (sym)link mechanism.
embed/nologin is provided as an example.

CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_BSS_TAIL code was aliasing bb_common_bufsiz1 to _end.
This is unreliable: _end may be not sufficiently aligned.
Change code to simply enlarge COMMON_BUFSIZE when we detect that _end
has significant amount of space to the end of page.

This makes "make menuconfig" also work on systems where ncurses is not
installed in a standard location (such as on NixOS).
This patch changes ccflags() so that it tries pkg-config first, and only
if pkg-config fails does it go back to the fallback/manual checks. This
is the same algorithm that ldflags() already uses.
