I've been considering this ever since the --kconfig_add patch was accepted.
It's more compatible w/ commands using --kunitconfig, but it also
looks very verbose.
E.g. it looks like

$ tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --make_options=CC=/usr/bin/gcc-6
--kconfig_add=CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
--kconfig_add=CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y
--kconfig_add=CONFIG_GCOV=y

Neither looks very appealing to me, so I've just kept it as-is for now.

Maybe there's something we can do to make this easier (e.g. allowing
--kunitconfig to be repeated and mergable)?
