Add kconfig-language docs for mainmenu, def_bool, and def_tristate.
Remove "requires" as a synonym of "depends on" since it was removed
from  the parser in commit 247537b9a270b52cc0375adcb0fb2605a160cba5.

cc-cross-prefix is useful for the architecture that like
to provide a default CROSS_COMPILE value,
but may have several to select between.

Sample usage:

ifneq ($(SUBARCH),$(ARCH))
        ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
               CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, m68k-linux-gnu- m68k-linux-)
        endif
endif

Actual usage by the different archs will taken care of later.

<content type='text'>
Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can
deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round.
Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
soon to be deprecated variants next.

The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
makefile fragments like:

ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG

As a replacement for the uglier:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
        EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
endif

The variable CPPFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.

This patch replace use of CPPFLAGS with KBUILD_CPPFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CPPFLAGS=...
to specify additional CPP commandline options.

Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.

This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.

One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.

Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k

Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

EXTRA_ARFLAGS have never been used so no need to carry
around on this.
A google search did not reveal any external module
using this either.

Small error had sneaked in with respect to use
of LDFLAGS_$@. LDFLAGS_$@ is not valid in normal
kbuild files so do not say so.
Fix a reference bug too.
