Subject: [PATCH v2] kconfig: merge_config: avoid false positive matches from comment lines

The current SED_CONFIG_EXP could match to comment lines in config
fragment files, especially when CONFIG_PREFIX_ is empty. For example,
Buildroot uses empty prefixing; starting symbols with BR2_ is just
convention.

Make the sed expression more robust against false positives from
comment lines. The new sed expression matches to only valid patterns.

Changes in v2:
  - Another (more precise) implementation approach
    based on the option from Arnout Vandecappelle.
    This is still easier to read, but adds a bit duplication.
