Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] gcc-plugins: Force full rebuild when plugins change

There was no dependency between the plugins changing and the rest of the
kernel being built. Enforce this by including a synthetic header file
when using plugins, that is regenerated any time the plugins are built.

This cannot be included via '-include ...' because Makefiles use the
"filter-out" string function, which removes individual words. Removing
all instances of "-include" from the CFLAGS will cause a lot of
problems. :)

Instead, use -I to include the gcc-plugins directory, and depend on the
new -DGCC_PLUGINS_ENABLED flag to include the generated header file via
include/linux/compiler-version.h, which is already being used to control
full rebuilds. The UM build requires that the -I be explicitly added.
