[PATCH] modsign: hide openssl output in silent builds

When a user calls 'make -s', we can assume they don't want to
see any output except for warnings and errors, but instead
they see this for a warning free build:
###
### Now generating an X.509 key pair to be used for signing modules.
###
### If this takes a long time, you might wish to run rngd in the
### background to keep the supply of entropy topped up. It
### needs to be run as root, and uses a hardware random
### number generator if one is available.
###
Generating a 4096 bit RSA private key
.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................++
..............................................................................................................................++
writing new private key to 'certs/signing_key.pem'
-----
###
### Key pair generated.
###
The output can confuse simple build testing scripts that just check
for an empty build log.
This patch silences all the output:
- "echo" is changed to "@$(kecho)", which is dropped when "-s" gets
passed
- the openssl command itself is only printed with V=1, using the
$(Q) macro
- The output of openssl gets redircted to /dev/null on "-s" builds.
