Subject: [PATCH v2 07/13] kbuild: do not create built-in.a.symversions or lib.a.symversions

Merge all *.o.symversions in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh instead of
incrementally merging them in the unit of built-in.a or lib.a.

This is a preparation for further code cleanups.

The initial patch version was implemented in a shell script, but it
was slow due to the slowness of the 'cat' command [1]. This version
was implemented in Perl.
