kernel/module: Hide vermagic header file from general use
VERMAGIC* definitions are not supposed to be used by the drivers, see this [1] bug report, so introduce special define to guard inclusion of this header file and define it in kernel/modules.h and in internal script that generates *.mod.c files.
