scripts: kconfig: merge_config.sh: refactor from shell/sed/grep to awk

merge_config.sh shell/sed/grep loop scales poorly and is slow.
With Yocto genericarm64 kernel and around 190 config fragments
the script takes more than 20 minutes to run on a fast build machine.
Re-implementation with awk does the same job in 10 seconds.
Using awk since it is likely available in the build environments
and using perl, python etc would introduce more complex runtime
dependencies. awk is good enough and lot better than shell/sed/grep.

Output stays the same but changed execution time means that
parallel job output may be ordered differently.
