In preparation for enabling command line CFLAGS, re-name HOSTCFLAGS to
KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS as the internal use only flags. This should not have
any visible effects.

Commit 0c3b7e4261 ("tools build: Add support for host programs format")
introduced host_c_flags which referenced CHOSTFLAGS. The actual name of the
variable is HOSTCFLAGS. Fix this up.

In 2016 GNU Make made a backwards incompatible change to the way '#'
characters were handled in Makefiles when used inside functions or
macros:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c6966b323811c37acedff05b57
Due to this change, when attempting to run `make prepare' I get a
spurious make syntax error:
/home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool/.fixdep.o.cmd:1: *** missing separator. Stop.
When inspecting `.fixdep.o.cmd' it includes two lines which use
unescaped comment characters at the top:
\# cannot find fixdep (/home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool//fixdep)
\# using basic dep data
This is because `tools/build/Build.include' prints these '\#'
characters:
printf '\# cannot find fixdep (%s)\n' $(fixdep) > $(dot-target).cmd; \
printf '\# using basic dep data\n\n' >> $(dot-target).cmd; \
This completes commit 9564a8cf42 ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files
for future Make").

I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but
already the objtool build broke with
orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’:
orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &nr_sections)) {
Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp
didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and
-DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS.
Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file:
* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
thus a call such as:
foo := $(shell echo '#')
is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
foo := $(shell echo '\#')
Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles
portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
C := \#
foo := $(shell echo '$C')
This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.
This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound)
rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need
similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains
the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the
new make.

Adding support to remove options from final CFLAGS for both object file
and build target. It's now possible to remove CFLAGS options like:
CFLAGS_REMOVE_krava.o += -Wstrict-prototypes
Committer notes:
This comes from the kernel's kbuild infrastructure, the subset that is
supported in tools/ is being documented at tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt.

Adding new build framework into 'tools/build' to be used by tools.
There's no change for actual building at this point, it comes in the
next patches.
The idea and more details are explained in the
'tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt' file.
I adopted everything from the kernel build system, with some changes to
allow for multiple binaries build definitions.
While the kernel's build output is single image (forget modules) we need
to be able to build several binaries/libraries.
The basic idea is that sser provides 'Build' files with objects
definitions like:
perf-y += a.o
perf-y += b.o
libperf-y += c.o
libperf-y += d.o
and the build framework outputs files:
perf-in.o # a.o, b.o compiled in
libperf-in.o # c.o, d.o compiled in
