kbuild: Add generic hook for architectures to use before the final vmlinux link
On powerpc, we would like to be able to make a pass on vmlinux.o and
generate a new object file to be linked into vmlinux. Add a generic pass
in Makefile.vmlinux that architectures can use for this purpose.
Architectures need to select CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_PRE_LINK_VMLINUX and must
provide arch/<arch>/tools/Makefile with .arch.vmlinux.o target, which
will be invoked prior to the final vmlinux link step.
