[RFC][PATCH v5 01/51] objtool: Factor out reasons to build objtool

[Matt Helsley]

Currently the reasons to build and run objtool are:
	Stack validation (objtool subcmds: orc + check)
	Orc data generation (objtool subcmds: orc)
	Code analysis (objtool subcmds: check)

Since the reasons are varied and the stack validation step is
skipped with a warning if libelf is missing, the logic of
Kconfig and the Makefiles is somewhat messy and will only get
messier the more subcommands objtool supports. In preparation
for adding new subcommands, break up the current configurations
such as CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC, etc.
so that we translate them into the objtool subcommands that we
need to build into objtool and whether the objtool pass is
optional (SKIP_STACK_VALIDATION=1).

This allows us to greatly simplify the objtool Makefile so
that the arch-dependence of the subcommands can be encoded in
the usual place, arch/Kconfig, rather than a bunch of
per-supported-arch ifdef blocks in tools/objtool/Makefile.
