[PATCH v4] streamline_config.pl: add LMC_KEEP to preserve some kconfigs

[Changbin Du <changbin.du@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes it is useful to preserve batches of configs when making
localmodconfig. For example, I usually don't want any usb and fs
modules to be disabled. Now we can do it by:

 $ make LMC_KEEP="drivers/usb;fs" localmodconfig

v4: fix typo.
v3: rename LOCALMODCONFIG_PRESERVE to shorter LMC_KEEP.
v2: fix typo in documentation. (Randy Dunlap)
