[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 3/3] kbuild: redefine __FILE__ as relative path from $(srctree) if possible

Since Kbuild runs in the objtree, __FILE__ can be a very long path
depending of $(srctree).

If objtree is a child of srctree, the situation is a bit better.
($(srctree) is "..")

For other cases of out-of-tree build, filenames in WARN_ON() etc. are
still an absolute path.  It also means the U-Boot image depends on
where it was built.

Here, the idea is to redefine __FILE__ as the relative path from
$(srctree), but doing so causes a compiler warning:
  warning: "__FILE__" redefined [-Wbuiltin-macro-redefined]

The option -Wno-builtin-macro-redefined can suppress it, but it is
only recognized by GCC 4.4 or newer.  Redefine __FILE__ only when
possible.
