There is a check and a nice user-friendly message when the curses
library is not present on the system and the user wants to do "make
menuconfig". It doesn't get issued, though. Instead, we fail the build
when mconf.c doesn't find the curses.h header:

    HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/mconf.o
  In file included from scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:23:0:
  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:38:20: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory
   #include CURSES_LOC
                      ^
  compilation terminated.

Make that check a prerequisite to mconf so that the user sees the error
message instead:

  $ make menuconfig
   *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
   *** required header files.
   *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
   ***
   *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.

Some people are able to trigger a race where autoksyms.h is used before
its empty version is even created.  Let's create it at the same time as
the directory holding it is created.

Documentation/Changes still lists this as the minimal required version,
so it ought to remain usable for the time being.

The Qt Project recommendation is that there should always be a "qmake"
binary and it should never be renamed. If it's necessary to handle
multiple Qt versions, the Qt Project recommends using qtchooser.

Unfortunately, some distros do not follow the recommendation, so we
would need to check qmake-qt4, qmake-qt5, etc. So, instead, let's try
pkg-config.

My recent commit d2036f30cfe1 ("scripts/kconfig/Makefile: Allow
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG to be a target"), contained a bug in that when it
checks if KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is a file it forgets to prepend $(srctree) to
the path.

This causes the build to fail when building out of tree (with O=), and
when the value of KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is 'defconfig'. In that case we will
fail to find the 'defconfig' file, because we look in the build
directory not $(srctree), and so we will call Make again with
'defconfig' as the target. From there we loop infinitely calling 'make
defconfig' again and again.

The fix is simple, we need to look for the file under $(srctree).

The buildsystem will now only search for Qt 4 and Qt 5. Support for Qt 2
and 3 was dropped in the previous commits (Qt 3 was EOL'ed in 2010 or
so...).

For Qt 5, to be future-proof with the future direction notice appearing
in the 5.5 release, C++11 support is automatically enabled.

Arch Makefiles can set KBUILD_DEFCONFIG to tell kbuild the name of the
defconfig that should be built by default.

However currently there is an assumption that KBUILD_DEFCONFIG points to
a file at arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG).

We would like to use a target, using merge_config, as our defconfig, so
adapt the logic in scripts/kconfig/Makefile to allow that.

To minimise the chance of breaking anything, we first check if
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is a file, and if so we do the old logic. If it's not a
file, then we call the top-level Makefile with KBUILD_DEFCONFIG as the
target.
