KBuild: Allow scripts/* to be cross compiledlinaro-ubuntu-sauce-3.4-2012.06-021420

Cross compiling the binaries in scripts/* is not possible
because various makefiles assume that $(obj)/whatever is
executable on the build host.

This patch introduces a new variable called KBUILD_SCRIPTROOT
that points to script/binaries to use while cross compiling.

Usage:

Build scripts for the build host:
	make O=path/to/buildhost/buildscripts \
		silentoldconfig prepare scripts
Then cross build script for target:
	make O=path/to/target/buildscripts \
		HOSTCC=$CROSS_COMPILE \
		KBUILD_SCRIPTROOT=path/to/buildhost/buildscripts
		silentoldconfig prepare scripts

This patch does not use KBUILD_SCRIPTROOT for all script invocations
it only redefines the following if KBUILD_SCRIPTROOT is defined.

scripts/Makefile.build
	scripts/basic/fixdep --> $(KBUILD_SCRIPTROOT)/scripts/basic/fixdep

scripts/kconfig/Makefile
	$(obj)/conf --> $(KBUILD_SCRIPTROOT)/scripts/kconfig/conf

scripts/mod/Makefile
	$(obj)mk_elfconfig --> $(KBUILD_SCRIPTROOT)/scripts/mod/mk_elfconfig
