Fix some warnings from sparce like follows:

  warning: symbol '...' was not declared. Should it be static?

The simple assignment is enough because memset() three lines above
has zero-cleared the structure.

The 'imply' statement may create unmet direct dependency when the
implied symbol depends on m.

[Test Code]

  config FOO
          tristate "foo"
          imply BAZ

  config BAZ
          tristate "baz"
          depends on BAR

  config BAR
          def_tristate m

  config MODULES
          def_bool y
          option modules

If you set FOO=y, BAZ is also promoted to y, which results in the
following .config file:

  CONFIG_FOO=y
  CONFIG_BAZ=y
  CONFIG_BAR=m
  CONFIG_MODULES=y

This does not meet the dependency 'BAZ depends on BAR'.

Unlike 'select', what is worse, Kconfig never shows the
'WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for ...' for this case.

Because 'imply' is considered to be weaker than 'depends on', Kconfig
should take the direct dependency into account.

For clarification, describe this case in kconfig-language.rst too.

The 'imply' keyword restricts a symbol to y or n, excluding m
when it is implied by y. This is the original behavior since
commit 237e3ad0f195 ("Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keyword").

However, the author of this feature, Nicolas Pitre, stated that
the 'imply' keyword should not impose any restrictions.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/2/19/714)

I agree, and want to get rid of this tricky behavior.

prop_alloc() is only called from menu_add_prop(). Squash it.

struct property can reference to the symbol that it is associated with
by prop->menu->sym.

Fix up the one usage of prop->sym, and remove sym from struct property.

Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - always require argument for --defconfig and remove the hard-coded
   arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig path

 - make arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/defconfig the new default of defconfig

 - some code cleanups

* tag 'kconfig-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
  kconfig: remove meaningless if-conditional in conf_read()
  kconfig: Fix spelling of sym_is_changable
  unicore32: rename unicore32_defconfig to defconfig
  kconfig: make arch/*/configs/defconfig the default of KBUILD_DEFCONFIG
  kconfig: add static qualifier to expand_string()
  kconfig: require the argument of --defconfig
  kconfig: remove always false ifeq ($(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG,) conditional

There is a spelling mistake in "changable", it is corrected to
"changeable" and all call sites are updated accordingly.

The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.

Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

I want to compile each C file independently instead of including all
of them from zconf.y.

Split out confdata.c, expr.c, symbol.c, and preprocess.c .
These are low-hanging fruits.
