kconfig: change defconfig_list option to environment variable
"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not exist yet. This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the "string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files. They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in the parse stage. It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

which can modify the behaviour of the menu entry and its config
symbol. These options are currently possible:
- - "defconfig_list"
- This declares a list of default entries which can be used when

-
- "modules"
This declares the symbol to be used as the MODULES symbol, which
enables the third modular state for all config symbols.
