[PATCH v2 0/6] scripts/Kconfig.toolchain: Document minimum supported versions for dynamic checks

[Nathan Chancellor]

Hi all,

Now that we have a fairly unified location for compiler and linker
feature checks in scripts/Kconfig.toolchain, we should make it easy to
clean up the checks as they become obsolete through minimum supported
version bumps by documenting when they were first supported. I somewhat
modeled this after the documentation in compiler_attributes.h but I did
not want it to be as verbose.

In doing this archaeology, I developed a few prerequisite clean up
patches, mostly around removing code that is practically dead through
minimum versions or adjusting options that are only supported in one
compiler. See the individual patches for the details.

---
Changes in v2:
- Fix versions for a few entries (Julian)
- Add patch fixing check for asm goto with tied outputs in riscv code
- Add patch eliminating check for asm goto with tied outputs, as all
  compilers that properly support asm goto with outputs will have
  support for tied outputs
- Add links to tools where feature is supported/changed to make future
  auditing easier
- Adjust comment format to be a little more succinct
- Reword commit messages accordingly
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20261110-kconfig-toolchain-updates-v1-0-6d4fb636290e@kernel.org
