kbuild: ensure Make >= 3.82 is used
Documentation/process/changes.rst notes the minimal GNU Make version, but it is not checked anywhere. We could check $(MAKE_VERSION), but another simple way is to check $(.FEATURES) since the feature list always grows. GNU Make 3.81 expands $(.FEATURES) to: target-specific order-only second-expansion else-if archives jobserver check-symlink GNU Make 3.82 expands $(.FEATURES) to: target-specific order-only second-expansion else-if shortest-stem undefine archives jobserver check-symlink To ensure Make >= 3.82, you can check either 'shortest-stem' or 'undefine'. This way is not always possible. For example, Make 4.0 through 4.2 have the same set of $(.FEATURES). At that point, we will need to come up with a different approach.
