Eneas U de Queiroz 65a3eb28d5 build: scripts/config - update to kconfig-v6.6.16
The main goal here is to keep this close to upstream.

Changes include:
 - allow symbols implied by y to become m
 - make 'imply' obey the direct dependency
 - allow only 'config', 'comment', and 'if' inside 'choice'
 - qconf: make search fully work again on split mode
 - qconf: navigate menus on hyperlinks
 - remove '---help---' support
 - qconf: allow to edit "int", "hex", "string" menus in-place
 - qconf: drop Qt4 support
 - nconf: fix core dump when searching in empty menu
 - nconf: stop endless search loops
 - Create links to main menu items in search
 - fix segmentation fault in menuconfig search
 - nconf: Add search jump feature
 - port qconf to work with Qt6 in addition to Qt5
 - fix possible buffer overflow
 - fix memory leak from range properties

These files were taken from the Linux Kernel Configuration System v6.6.16,
at commit eb3e299184cc4f40d4bd84fda269b3a20ddcff80 (Feb 5, 2024), and modified
for the OpenWrt Buildroot:
- Removed gconf, tests and kernel configuration targets.
- Adjusted the Makefile to compile outside the kernel.
- Always use default file when running make all{no,mod,yes}config.
- Added a 'reset' command to reset config when the target changes.
- Allow config reading from & writing to a different file.
- Allow 'source' command to use globs to include multiple files.
- Don't warn when selecting a symbol with unmet direct dependencies.
- Don't write auto.conf and other files under include/ directory.
- Reverted a commit to allow use of '/' & '.' in unquoted config symbols.
There are too many of those in OpenWrt right now.
- Reverted a commit that was issuing a warning when there were more than
one help text. This is used in a few packages to use different texts
for the menuconfig help, and the ipkg package description.
- Reverted an upstream change that avoids writing symbols that are not
visible to .config, which breaks OpenWrt busybox's '.config' generation
logic.
- Treat recursive dependency as a warning only; add a --fatalrecursive
option to conf to treat recursive deps as a fatal error.
- Use pre-built *.lex.c *.tab.[ch] files by default, to avoid depending on
flex & bison. Rebuild/remove these files only if running make with
BUILD_SHIPPED_FILES defined
