kbuild: Show marked Kconfig fragments in "help"

Currently the Kconfig fragments in kernel/configs and arch/*/configs
that aren't used internally aren't discoverable through "make help",
which consists of hard-coded lists of config fragments. Instead, list
all the fragment targets that have a "# Help: " comment prefix so the
targets can be generated dynamically.

Add logic to the Makefile to search for and display the fragment and
comment. Add comments to fragments that are intended to be direct targets.

xen: remove XEN_SCRUB_PAGES in xen.config

Commit 197ecb3802c0 ("xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing
ballooned out pages") changed config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to config
XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT.

xen: remove XEN_SCRUB_PAGES in xen.config

Commit 197ecb3802c0 ("xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing
ballooned out pages") changed config XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to config
XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT. As xen.config sets 'XEN_BALLOON=y' and
XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT defaults to yes, there is no further need to set
this config in the xen.config file.

Remove setting XEN_SCRUB_PAGES in xen.config, which is without
effect since the commit above anyway.

kconfig: add xenconfig defconfig helper

This lets you build a kernel which can support xen dom0
or xen guests on i386, x86-64 and arm64 by just using:

make xenconfig

You can start from an allnoconfig and then switch to xenconfig.
This also splits out the options which are available currently
to be built with x86 and 'make ARCH=arm64' under a shared config.

Technically xen supports a dom0 kernel and also a guest
kernel configuration but upon review with the xen team
since we don't have many dom0 options its best to just
combine these two into one.

A few generic notes: we enable both of these:

CONFIG_INET=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y

although technically not required given you likely will
end up with a pretty useless system otherwise.

A few architectural differences worth noting:

$ make allnoconfig; make xenconfig > /dev/null ; \
grep XEN .config > 64-bit-config
$ make ARCH=i386 allnoconfig; make ARCH=i386 xenconfig > /dev/null; \
grep XEN .config > 32-bit-config
$ make ARCH=arm64 allnoconfig; make ARCH=arm64 xenconfig > /dev/null; \
grep XEN .config > arm64-config

Since the options are already split up with a generic config and
architecture specific configs you anything on the x86 configs
are known to only work right now on x86. For instance arm64 doesn't
support MEMORY_HOTPLUG yet as such although we try to enabe it
generically arm64 doesn't have it yet, so we leave the xen
specific kconfig option XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG on x86's config
file to set expecations correctly.

Then on x86 we have differences between i386 and x86-64. The difference
between 64-bit-config and 32-bit-config is you don't get XEN_MCE_LOG as
this is only supported on 64-bit. You also do not get on i386
XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, there does not seem to be any technical
reasons to not allow this but I gave up after a few attempts.
