[PATCH v2] scripts/config: allow "O=config-dir" option

[Randy Dunlap]

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

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.

v2:
- use 'shellcheck' and other recommendations from Nicolas
- move one comment from the commit description to under the "---" line

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