[PATCH v2] gen_compile_command: Add support for separate KBUILD_OUTPUT directory

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

gen_compile_command.py currently assumes that the .cmd files and the
source code live in the same directory, which is not the case when
a separate KBUILD_OUTPUT directory is used.

Add a new option to specify this the kbuild output directory. If the
option is not set the kernel source directory is used.
