[PATCH] kconfig: store default ARCH in .config

[Konstantin Khlebnikov]

This patch makes cross-compilation configuration fully statefull.
Default ARCH is stored in .config as CONFIG_DEFAULT_ARCH.
After initial configuration specifying ARCH= is no longer required.

To avoid recursion it is read directly from .config using scritps/config
because include/config/auto.conf is not yet included at this point.
