This is a follow up of 8cb13f4e6d which sets the right timestamp for the
/init file in initramfs. The previous patch doesn't cover it as the
files appear to come from a later step during compilation.

In commit fce35bce0f ("config: support new symbol intro'd in kernel
4.12")
I forgot to remove the initial debug test line.
This clearly is wrong as the same symbol is defined conditionally in the
line below as it should be.
I looked over it as I just checked if the symbol was present now upon
testing it.

Symbol CONFIG_INITRAMFS_FORCE allows to ignore the value passed by the
bootloader.
By default, all symbols containing INITRAMFS are wiped from the final
config and then re-added conditionally.
Add support for this symbol, as the build will stop otherwise
questioning the user about this option:
* Restart config...

*
* General setup
*

In case we use external and/or git cloned kernels, let the kernel
determine the appropriate KERNELRELEASE. We cannot used
LINUX_UNAME_VERSION because that one gets determined at a later time,
when the kernel is already built proper.

This reverts commit 0df2c6563a since it
gets in the way of identifying properly which kernel we are running.
This is particularly important if LEDE is using external kernels/git
cloned kernels. We want to make sure we only load modules from that
specific kernel.

When the kernel build picks up a localversion file in the source tree,
that string is unconditionally appended to LOCALVERSION and affects the
uname string.

When building the kernel from a git repository, the kernel build appends
either a + or a short commit hash to localversion.
This behaviour can be prevented by passing the empty LOCALVERSION variable
to make.

Similar how we fix the file times in the filesystems, fix the build time
of the kernel, and make the build number static. This should allow the
kernel build to be reproducable when combined with setting the
KERNEL_BUILD_USER and _DOMAIN in case of different machines.
The reproducability only applies to non-initramfs kernels, those still
require additional changes.

These allow the generated kernel's build metadata to be defined explicitly.
This metadata is reported, eg, at boot time and in `uname -a` on running
systems. If the variables aren't configured, the current build system username
and hostname are used as normal.
The motivation for this option is to achive reproducible (bit-for-bit
identical) kernel builds of official openwrt releases.

This change adds support for specifying a build ID for kernel modules.
This is done by setting PKG_BUILD_ID to a hexadecimal string, which will
then be passed to the kernel linker. In addition, when this flag is set,
the build ID debug symbol (.note.gnu.build-id) will not be stripped from
the kernel module. This symbol is exported in sysfs by the kernel (if
the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_KALLSYMS) and so can be used to
uniquely identify a version of a kernel module in a running kernel. This
is useful for keeping track of different versions of a module when doing
experiments and development.
Modules that specify the build ID will be ~100 bytes larger (depending
on the length of the build ID specified). There is no size difference
for kernel modules that do not set this variable.

Otherwise the modpost steps for individual modules that are compiled
manually (using make package/<name_of_module>/install) will give warning
of missing symbols when that module depends other modules.
This is caused by the Module.symvers file not containing any symbols
anymore of external modules when the initramfs image is built without
specifically giving the modules target.

The way git options are managed in kernel-defaults.mk makes additions
difficult. If requires different code path for each option; it's
ok so far as we handle only one option, but if we want to make the git
clone mechanism more flexible, more option will be required, which
will become tedious.
So; we'll move the GIT options into a variable, that may or may not be
set depending on the configuration, and we'll pass this variable to the
git command.

The GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY option adds the --reference argument to the
git clone kernel command line, if KERNEL_GIT_CLONE_URI is set.
This option is intended to speed-up the repo creation by using local
objets rather than downloading it. However, a local repo can be cloned
much faster by setting GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY directly to the local tree.
In that case, git clone will bypass the normal "git aware" transport
mechanism and clone the repository by copying and hardlinking objects
rather than downloading it, resulting in a significant speed increase.
That makes the GIT_LOCAL_REPOSITORY option pretty useless so we'll just
remove it and recommand the usage of KERNEL_GIT_CLONE_URI directly.
