    Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
     "Kconfig now supports new functionality to perform textual
      substitution. It has been a while since Linus suggested to move
      compiler option tests from makefiles to Kconfig. Finally, here it is.
    
      The implementation has been generalized into a Make-like macro
      language.
    
      Some built-in functions such as 'shell' are provided. Variables and
      user-defined functions are also supported so that 'cc-option',
      'ld-option', etc. are implemented as macros.
    
      Summary:
    
       - refactor package checks for building {m,n,q,g}conf
    
       - remove unused/unmaintained localization support
    
       - remove Kbuild cache
    
       - drop CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE support
    
       - replace 'option env=' with direct variable expansion
    
       - add built-in functions such as 'shell'
    
       - support variables and user-defined functions
    
       - add helper macros as as 'cc-option'
    
       - add unit tests and a document of the new macro language
    
       - add 'testconfig' to help
    
       - fix warnings from GCC 8.1"
