[PATCH v2 2/4] linux/const.h: move UL() macro to include/linux/const.h

ARM, ARM64 and UniCore32 duplicate the definition of UL():

  #define UL(x) _AC(x, UL)

This is not actually arch-specific, so it will be useful to move it
to a common header.  Currently, we only have the uapi variant for
linux/const.h, so I am creating include/linux/const.h.

I am also adding _UL(), _ULL() and ULL() because _AC() is mostly
used in the form either _AC(..., UL) or _AC(..., ULL).  I expect
they will be replaced in later cleanups.  The underscore-prefixed
ones should be used for exported headers.
