Subject: [PATCH 3/3] kbuild: Add a build check for missing gitignore entries

Any non-phony targets need to be in gitignore. The normal way to check
this is doing an in-tree build and running git-status which is easy to
miss. Git provides an easy way to check whether a file is ignored with
git-check-ignore. Let's add a build time check using it. If the build is
not in a git tree, the check will silently fail.

This also has the side effect of a sanity check for 'always-y',
'extra-y' and 'targets' entries which are not correctly marked as PHONY
or have the wrong path.
