kbuild: support include/generated

We need a location for generated files. Today they are spread over several places and bringing them together to a common place makes it obvious hat is generated and what isreal files. Al Viro originally suggested: include/gen Linus suggested to spell it out. This patch implement support for include/generated All files in include/generated are ignored by git. include/generated is removed during "make mrproper". With this we are ready to implement support for include/generated in the various architctures and in the base kernel.
