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/mman.h:7: leaks CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS 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 eventually.

I re-implemented it in scripts/headers_install.sh by using sed because
the most of code in scripts/headers_install.sh is written in 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, this would detect the following warnings, all of
which are real ones.

warning: include/uapi/linux/pktcdvd.h: leak CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD_WCACHE to user-space
warning: include/uapi/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: leak CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS to user-space

warning: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/mman.h: leak CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS to user-space

However, it is not nice to show them right now. I created a list of
existing leakages. They are not warned, but a new leakage will be
blocked by the 0-day bot.

Changes in v2:
- Add a whitelist. The CONFIG leakages in this list are not warned.
This patch can be applied now. A new leakage will be blocked.
- Shorten the sed code slightly
