kbuild: optimize headers_* targets
Move the core functionality of headers_install
and headers_check to two small perl scripts.
The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and
changed to operate on all files in a directory.
So if one file is changed then all files in the
directory is processed.
perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this
is pure text processing which perl is good at and
especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to
see changes / new checks implmented.
The speed is ~300% faster on this box.
And the output generated to the screen is now down to
two lines per directory (one for install, one for check)
so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build.
The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient
