kconfig-package: add support for config fragments

Adds functionality to the kconfig infrastructure to merge additional
configuration fragment files to the main configuration file of
kconfig packages, using support/kconfig/merge_config.sh

Typical use-case is when you want your configuration to be
kept in sync with an upstream (def)config file, but do require
some minor local modifications.

Disables -update-config and -update-defconfig targets when
fragment files are set.

[Thomas: take into account comments made by Arnout:
  - Minor fixes in the documentation changes
  - Add @ before the tests done in the $(1)-update-config and
    $(1)-update-defconfig targets.]
