[PATCH 3/3] kbuild: rewrite ld-version.sh in shell script

[Masahiro Yamada]

This script was written in awk in spite of the file extension '.sh'.
Rewrite it as a shell script.

The code was mostly copy-pasted from scripts/lld-version.sh.
The two scripts can be merged, but I am keeping this as a separate
file for now.

I tested this script for some corner cases reported in the past:

 - GNU ld version 2.25-15.fc23
   as reported by commit 8083013fc320 ("ld-version: Fix it on Fedora")

 - GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.20.1.20100303
   as reported by commit 0d61ed17dd30 ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and
   5th version components")

I also cleaned up the macros in scripts/Kbuild.include. Remove
ld-version, which has no direct user. You can use CONFIG_LD_VERSION
if you need the version string in a Makefile.
