Clean up kernel Makefile patch and add new targets
Add two new targets:
- 'make kmenuconfig' runs the menuconfig interface
- 'make dumpvarsconfig' lists all referenced environment variables
together with their values (assuming they used the preprocessor
syntax)
Remove the 'kconfiglibtestconfig' target, which is no longer used.
Also clean up the target definitions. The joys of ancient code.
