[U-Boot] [PATCH 01/19] Makefile: prepare for using Kbuild-style Makefile

In every sub directory, Makefile is like follows:

    include $(TOPDIR)/config.mk

    LIB     = $(obj)libfoo.o

    COBJS := ...
    COBJS += ...
    SOBJS := ...

    SRCS    := $(SOBJS:.o=.S) $(COBJS:.o=.c)
    OBJS    := $(addprefix $(obj),$(COBJS) $(SOBJS))

    all:     $(obj).depend $(LIB)

    $(LIB): $(OBJS)
            $(call cmd_link_o_target, $(OBJS))

    #########################################################################

    include $(SRCTREE)/rules.mk

    sinclude $(obj).depend

    #########################################################################

Top and bottom parts are common in almost all sub-makefiles.
This is a big waste.
This commit pushes common parts of makefiles into script/Makefile.build.

Going forward sub-makefiles only need to describe this part:

    COBJS := ...
    COBJS += ...
    SOBJS := ...

But, script/Makefile.build includes the glue code to support obj-y,
the following style (the same as Kbuild) is preferable:

    obj-y := ...
    obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += ...
    obj-$(CONFIG_BAR) += ...

The conventional U-Boot Makefile style is still supported.
This is achieved by greping the Makefile before entering into it.
U-Boot conventional sub makefiles always include some other makefiles.
So the build system searches a line with beginning with "include" keyword
in the makefile in order to distinguish which style it is.
If the Makefile include a "include" line, we assume it is a conventional
U-Boot style. Otherwise, it is treated as a Kbuild-style makefile.

(At first, I tried to grep "rules.mk" keyword instead,
but I found it does not work.
Almost all sub makefiles include "rules.mk", but there exist three exception:
   - board/avnet/fx12mm/Makefile
   - board/avnet/v5fx30teval/Makefile
   - board/xilinx/ml507/Makefile
These three makefiles include "rules.mk" indirectly.
Anyway, they look weird, so they should be fixed lator.)

With this tweak, we can switch sub-makefiles
from U-Boot style to Kbuild style little by little.

This refactoring of sub makefiles is the first step towards Kbuild,
and makes it easy to import a "real" Kbuild from Linux Kernel.

Note that this refactoring breaks nothing because it just moves
the common parts into scripts/Makefile.build.

Note one more thing:

    obj-y := foo/  # descending into foo sub directory

syntax is not supported yet.
(This feature will be implemented in the upcoming commit series.)

Of course, scripts/Makefile.build added by this commit is temporary.
It shall be replaced with the one of Linux Kernel in future.
