menuconfig: add support to show hidden options which have prompts

Usage:
Press <Z> to show all config symbols which have prompts.

Quote Tim Bird:

| I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often
| use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost
| always go through a sequence of searching for the
| function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's
| completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
|
| Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be
| unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm
| not a Kconfig guru...

I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test
ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are
enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to
see if there is any config hidden.

I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options",
but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not
interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be
changed by users.

Exmaple:

--- Tracers
-*- Kernel Function Tracer
- - Kernel Function Graph Tracer
[*] Interrupts-off Latency Tracer
- - Preemption-off Latency Tracer
[*] Sysprof Tracer

Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find
out how to make them selectable.

kconfig: new configuration interface (nconfig)

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses
replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg).

Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look
interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel,
form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is
currently distributed with the kernel.

menuconfig: wrap long help lines

Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text
includes the names of all other options the option in question depends
on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list
without scrolling horizontally.

This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word
boundaries to prevent truncating.

Tested by running

ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build

which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and

ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build

to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

kconfig: make kconfig MinGW friendly

Kconfig is powerfull tool. So powerfull that more and more software
projects are using it for configuration. So instead of fixing some of
them one by one, lets fix it in kernel and wait for sync.

This work was originaly done for PTXdist - GPL licensed build system for
userlands and cross-compilers, but it will not hurt kernel kconfig
either. PTXdist menuconfig now works on Windows linked with PDCurses and
compiled using MinGW - there is no termios and signals.

* Do not include <sys/wait.h> and <signal.h> (comes from times when
lxdialog was separate process)
* Do not mess with termios directly and let curses tell screen size.
Comment to commit c8dc68ad0fbd934e78e913b8a8d7b45945db4930 says
check for screen size could be removed later, but because it didn't
happen for more than year I left it here as well.
* Save cursor position added by Sam

kconfig/menuconfig: distinguish between selected-by-another options and comments

menuconfig currently represents options implied by another option ('select'
directive in Kconfig) by prefixing them with '---'. Unfortunately the same
notation is used for comments. If the implied option is module capable,
user can still switch between Y and M, all without any feedback until she
visits option's help. (try saying M to MAC80211 and then toggling
CFG80211)

This patch changes notation of selected-by-another items by introducing 2
new representations for implied options: {*} or {M} for options selected by
another modularized one, thus builtin or module capable, -*- or -M- for
options that cannot be at the moment changed by user.

The idea is to represent actual capability of the option by braces (dashes)
around and to always report actual state by * or M inside.

[PATCH] kconfig: new function "bool conf_get_changed(void)"

Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree. Look at the floppy disk
icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active
state.

Mouse click on it: .config is being saved.

This patch series changes things so taht
after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out.
If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens.

If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state",
that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written.

This patch:

Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state.
All read only accesses of
sym_change_count
are replaced by calls to
conf_get_changed()
.
mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when
conf_get_changed() returned true.
