kbuild: remove header compile test

There are both positive and negative options about this feature.
At first, I thought it was a good idea, but actually Linus stated a
negative opinion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/29/227). I admit it
is ugly and annoying.

The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers.
(Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness
of the exported headers.)

I will maintain a small build rule in usr/include/Makefile.
Remove the other header test functionality.

In this example, extra-y is used to list object files that
shall be built, but shall not be linked as part of built-in.a.
header-test-y
header-test-y specifies headers (`*.h`) in the current directory that
should be compile tested to ensure they are self-contained,
i.e. compilable as standalone units. If CONFIG_HEADER_TEST is enabled,
this builds them as part of extra-y.
header-test-pattern-y
This works as a weaker version of header-test-y, and accepts wildcard
patterns. The typical usage is::
header-test-pattern-y += *.h
This specifies all the files that matches to `*.h` in the current
directory, but the files in 'header-test-' are excluded.
