[PATCH] Kconfig: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO
From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Fri Aug 19 2022 - 13:42:03 EST
GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.
Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.
The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.
The script was also not portable; users of Dash shell reported errors
when it was invoked.

`CC_HAS_` is the recommended prefix for the config option::
