[PATCHv2 7/7] Kbuild: Use HOST*FLAGS options from the command line

[Laura Abbott]

Now that we have the rename in place, reuse the HOST*FLAGS options as
something that can be set from the command line and included with the
rest of the flags.

v2: Use the correct name for HOSTLDLIBS, update documentation.
