modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files

Currently, CONFIG_MODVERSIONS needs extra link to embed the symbol
versions into ELF objects. Then, modpost extracts the version CRCs
from them.

The following figures show how it currently works, and how I am trying
to change it.

Current implementation
======================
                                                           |----------|
                 embed CRC      -------------------------->| final    |
       $(CC)       $(LD)       /  |---------|              | link for |
       -----> *.o -------> *.o -->| modpost |              | vmlinux  |
      /              /            |         |-- *.mod.c -->| or       |
     / genksyms     /             |---------|              | module   |
  *.c ------> *.symversions                                |----------|

Genksyms outputs the calculated CRCs in the form of linker script
(*.symversions), which is used by $(LD) to update the object.

If CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, the build process is much more complex. Embedding
the CRCs is postponed until the LLVM bitcode is converted into ELF,
creating another intermediate *.prelink.o.

However, this complexity is unneeded. There is no reason why we must
embed version CRCs in objects so early.

There is final link stage for vmlinux (scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) and
modules (scripts/Makefile.modfinal). We can link CRCs at the very last
moment.

New implementation
==================
                                                           |----------|
                   --------------------------------------->| final    |
       $(CC)      /    |---------|                         | link for |
       -----> *.o ---->|         |                         | vmlinux  |
      /                | modpost |--- .vmlinux.export.c -->| or       |
     / genksyms        |         |--- *.mod.c ------------>| module   |
  *.c ------> *.cmd -->|---------|                         |----------|

Pass the symbol versions to modpost as separate text data, which are
available in *.cmd files.

This commit changes modpost to extract CRCs from *.cmd files instead of
from ELF objects.
