[PATCH RFC 05/17] kbuild: allow security config use without source tree modification

[Ahmad Fatoum]

A key aspect of security policies is the enforcement of a policy to be
complete with no implicit defaults. To make this easier to use, the
security_*config targets directly manipulate the specified KPOLICY or
all known policies if none were specified.

This is at odds with build systems that assume an immutable source tree
and prefer that changes to files within purview of the build system are
only done explicitly by the user. For that purpose, add an optional
KPOLICY_TMPUPDATE, which works as follows:

  - When set, only the tmp file in the build tree is updated, but not the
    original
  - The tmp file is always what's used in the build
  - Once unset, the tmp file will always be overwritten by the original
    on next build
