[PATCH 02/15] kernel: Build bin2c based on config option CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C

currently bin2c builds only if CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y. But bin2c will now be
used by kexec too.  So make it compilation dependent on CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C
and this config option can be selected by CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_IKCONFIG.
