kbuild: create .kernelrelease at *config step
To enable 'make kernelrelease' earlier now create .kernelrelease when
one of the *config targets are used.
Also introduce KERNELVERSION - only user is kconfig.
KERNELVERSION was needed to display kernel version in menuconfig -
KERNELRELEASE is not valid until configuration has completed.
kconfig files modified to use KERNELVERSION.
