livepatch/klp-build: Introduce klp-build script for generating livepatch modules
Add a klp-build script which automates the generation of a livepatch module from a source .patch file by performing the following steps: - Builds an original kernel with -function-sections and -fdata-sections, plus objtool function checksumming. - Applies the .patch file and rebuilds the kernel using the same options. - Runs 'objtool klp diff' to detect changed functions and generate intermediate binary diff objects. - Builds a kernel module which links the diff objects with some livepatch module init code (scripts/livepatch/init.c). - Finalizes the livepatch module (aka work around linker wreckage) using 'objtool klp post-link'.
