kbuild: warn if FORCE is missing for if_changed(_dep,_rule) and filechk
if_changed, if_changed_dep, and if_changed_rule must have FORCE as a prerequisite so the command line change is detected. Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst clearly explains it: Note: It is a typical mistake to forget the FORCE prerequisite. However, not all people follow the document. This mistake occurred again and again, so a compelling force is needed. Show a warning if FORCE is missing in the prerequisite of if_changed and friends. Same for filechk.
