This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in
the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good
for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default
bootconfigs.
This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_EMBED_BOOT_CONFIG=y and set
the file path to CONFIG_EMBED_BOOT_CONFIG_FILE.
Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the
embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different
bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead
of the default bootconfig.

Changes in v6:
- Split out the .incbin asm part as bootconfig-data.S according to
Masahiro's comment.
Changes in v5:
- Fix .gitignore to be sorted alphabetically.
- Make default.bconf is cleaned up correctly.
- Allow user to specify relative path to CONFIG_EMBED_BOOT_CONFIG_FILE.
(Thanks Masahiro!)
Changes in v4:
- Avoid updating the default.bconf if the file is not changed.
