kbuild: store the objtool command in *.cmd files
objtool_dep includes include/config/{ORC_UNWINDER,STACK_VALIDATION} so that all the objects are rebuilt when CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER or CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION is toggled. BTW, the correct option name is not CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER, but CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC. Commit 11af8474 ("x86/unwind: Rename unwinder config options to 'CONFIG_UNWINDER_*'") missed to adjust this part. So, this dependency has been broken for a long time. As you can see in 'objtool_args', there are more CONFIG options that affect the objtool command line. Adding more and more include/config/* is ugly and unmaintainable. Another issue is that non-standard objects are needlessly rebuilt. Objects specified as OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD is not processed by objtool, but they are rebuilt anyway when CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION is toggled. This is not a big deal, but better to fix. A cleaner and more precise fix is to include the objtool command in *.cmd files so any command change is naturally detected by if_change.
