scripts/headers_check.pl can detect references to CONFIG options in
exported headers, but it has been disabled for more than a decade.

Reverting commit 7e3fa5614117 ("kbuild: drop check for CONFIG_ in
headers_check") would emit the following warnings for headers_check
on x86:

usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:283: leaks CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT to userspace where it is not valid

usr/include/asm/e820.h:14: leaks CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT to userspace where it is not valid
usr/include/asm/e820.h:39: leaks CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to userspace where it is not valid

usr/include/asm/auxvec.h:14: leaks CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION to userspace where it is not valid

Most of these are false positives because scripts/headers_check.pl
parses comment lines.

It is also false negative. arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/auxvec.h contains
CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION and CONFIG_X86_64, but the only former is reported.

It would be possible to fix scripts/headers_check.pl, of course.
However, we already have some duplicated checks between headers_check
and CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST. At this moment of time, there are still
dozens of headers excluded from the header test (usr/include/Makefile),
but we might be able to remove headers_check when the time comes.

I re-implemented it in scripts/headers_install.sh by using sed because
the most of code in scripts/headers_install.sh is written is sed.

This patch works like this:

[1] Run scripts/unifdef first because we need to drop the code
surrounded by #ifdef __KERNEL__ ... #endif

[2] Remove all C style comments. The sed code is somewhat complicated
since we need to deal with both single and multi line comments.

Precisely speaking, a comment block is replaced with a space just
in case.

CONFIG_FOO/* this is a comment */CONFIG_BAR

should be converted into:

CONFIG_FOO CONFIG_BAR

instead of:

CONFIG_FOOCONFIG_BAR

[3] Match CONFIG_... pattern. It correctly matches to all CONFIG options
that appear in a single line.

After this commit, you will see the following warnings, all of which
are real ones.

I was playing with sed yesterday, but the resulted code might be unreadable.

Sed scripts tend to be somewhat unreadable.
I just wondered which language is appropriate for this?
Maybe perl, or what else? I am not good at perl, though.

Maybe, it will be better to fix existing warnings
before enabling this check.
If somebody takes a closer look at them, that would be great.
