[RFC/PATCH 1/2] kconfig: add KBUILD_USERCONFIG option

[Felipe Contreras]

This allows us to specify a user defconfig which is added on top of the
default defconfig, which makes it easier for users to keep a simpler
defconfig, without duplicating all the options already present in the
arch defconfig.

Here a very simple defconfig I've been using for several years on top of
x86_64_defconfig. It works because I can rely on the fact that
x86_64_defconfig is properly maintained.
