kconfig: add merge_config.sh script
After noticing almost every distro has their own method of managing config fragments, I went looking at some best practices, and wanted to try to consolidate some of the different approaches so this fairly simple infrastructure can be shared (and new distros/build systems don't have to implement yet another config fragment merge script). This script is most influenced by the Windriver tools used in the Yocto Project, reusing some portions found there. This script merges multiple config fragments, warning on any overridden values. It then sets any unspecified values to their default, then finally checks to make sure no specified value was dropped due to unsatisfied dependencies. I'm sure this implementation won't work for everyone, and I expect it will need to evolve to adapt for various use cases. But I think its a reasonable starting point.
