[PATCH] scripts/config: allow "O=config-dir" option

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Sun Oct 31 2021 - 02:33:30 EST


Support "O=config-dir" as the location of the .config file
like (some) other kernel build (make) tools do.

Someone asked for this "feature" a few months ago but I don't
recall who it was.

Also check for the existence of the config-dir/config-file
and report if there is no such file instead of letting grep
report that there is no such file.
