gcc-plugins: Force full rebuild when plugins change
There was no dependency between the plugins changing and the rest of the kernel being built. This could cause strange behaviors as instrumentation could vary between targets depending on when they were built. Generate a new header file, gcc-plugins.h, any time the GCC plugins change. Include the header file in compiler-version.h when its associated feature name, GCC_PLUGINS, is defined. This will be picked up by fixdep and force rebuilds where needed. Add a generic "touch" kbuild command, which will be used again in a following patch. Add a "normalize_path" string helper to make the "TOUCH" output less ugly.
