kbuild: generate asm-generic wrappers if mandatory headers are missing

Browse Source 
Some time ago, Sam pointed out a certain degree of overwrap between
generic-y and mandatory-y. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/10/121)

I tweaked the meaning of mandatory-y a little bit; now it defines the
minimum set of ASM headers that all architectures must have.

If arch does not have specific implementation of a mandatory header,
Kbuild will let it fallback to the asm-generic one by automatically
generating a wrapper. This will allow to drop lots of redundant
generic-y defines.

Previously, "mandatory" was used in the context of UAPI, but I guess
this can be extended to kernel space ASM headers.

mandatory-y is essentially used by include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm

include/asm.
mandatory-y is essentially used by include/(uapi/)asm-generic/Kbuild.asm

This works like optional generic-y. If a mandatory header is missing
in arch/$(ARCH)/include/(uapi/)/asm, Kbuild will automatically generate
a wrapper of the asm-generic one.
The convention is to list one subdir per line and
preferably in alphabetic order.
