kbuild: add a phony target to run a command with Kbuild env vars

There are some cases where we want to run a command with the same
environment variables as Kbuild uses. For example, 'make coccicheck'
invokes scripts/coccicheck from the top Makefile so that the script can
reference to ${LINUXINCLUDE}, ${KBUILD_EXTMOD}, etc. The top Makefile
defines several phony targets that run a script.

We do it also for an internally used script, which results in a somewhat
complex call graph.

One example:

 debian/rules binary-arch
   -> make intdeb-pkg
      -> scripts/package/builddeb

It is also tedious to add a dedicated target like 'intdeb-pkg' for each
use case.

Add a generic target 'run-command' to run an arbitrary command in an
environment with all Kbuild variables set.

The usage is:

  $ make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND=<command>

The concept is similar to:

  $ dpkg-architecture -c <command>

This executes <command> in an environment which has all DEB_* variables
defined.

Convert the existing 'make intdeb-pkg'.

Another possible usage is to interrogate a Make variable.

  $ make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND='echo $(KBUILD_CFLAGS)'

might be useful to see KBUILD_CFLAGS set by the top Makefile.
