[PATCH] kbuild: add test-{ge,gt,le,lt} macros

[Masahiro Yamada]

GNU Make 4.4 introduced $(intcmp ...), which is useful to compare two
integers without forking a new process.

Add test-{ge,gt,le,lt} macros, which work more efficiently with GNU
Make >= 4.4. For older Make versions, they fall back to the 'test'
shell command.

The first two parameters to $(intcmp ...) must not be empty. To avoid
the syntax error, I appended '0' to them. Fortunately, '00' is treated
as '0'. This is needed because CONFIG options may expand to an empty
string when the kernel configuration is not included.

Changes in v3:
  - Use $(intcmp ...) instead of playing with $(sort ...)
