In order to piss off^W^Whelp people trying to fix warnings,
this patch introduces a new 'e' modifier to W= as a short
hand for KCFLAGS+=-Werror" so that -Werror got added to
the kernel (built-in) and modules' CFLAGS and makes the
build abort when any warning is reported by the compiler.
In the end, people not sane enough can do not so useful
thing such as 'make W=123e'.
