x86/retpoline: Make CONFIG_RETPOLINE depend on compiler support
Since retpoline capable compilers are widely available, make
CONFIG_RETPOLINE hard depend on the compiler capability.
Break the build when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled and the compiler does not
support it. Emit an error message in that case:
"arch/x86/Makefile:226: *** You are building kernel with non-retpoline
compiler, please update your compiler.. Stop."
[dwmw: Fail the build with non-retpoline compiler]
