checkkconfigsymbols.py: make it Git aware
The script now supports to check a specified commit or a specified range of commits (i.e., commit1..commit2). Developers and maintainers are encouraged to use this functionality before sending or merging patches to avoid potential bugs and to keep the code, documentation, etc. clean. This patch adds the following options to the script: -c COMMIT, --commit=COMMIT Check if the specified commit (hash) introduces undefined Kconfig symbols. -d DIFF, --diff=DIFF Diff undefined symbols between two commits. The input format bases on Git log's 'commmit1..commit2'. --force Reset current Git tree even when it's dirty. Note that the first two options require to 'git reset --hard' the user's Git tree. This hard reset is necessary to keep the script fast, but it can lead to the loss of uncommitted data. Hence, the script aborts in case it is executed in a dirty tree. It won't abort if '--force' is passed. If neither -c nor -d is specified, the script defaults to check the entire local tree (i.e., the previous behavior).
