kbuild: Support LOCALVERSION
Add LOCALVERSION so we can append strings that show up in uname
without having to fiddle with the Makefile and EXTRAVERSION, etc.
* localversion* files are read first
* config variable is appended last
* LOCALVERSION from the command line overrides all of this
* check is forced on build, since we can't really know when
the config or environment options change.
