core/pkg-kconfig: allow saving config to a non-existing custom config file
A very interesting use-case for a kconfig-based package is to create a
custom (def)config file based on one bundled with the package itself,
like described in PR-8156:
make menuconfig
-> enable kernel, use an in-tree defconfig, save and exit
make linux-menuconfig
-> enable/disable whatever option, save and exit
make menuconfig
-> change to use a custom defconfig file, set a path, save and exit
make linux-update-config
-> should save to the new custom defconfig file
However, that is currently not possible, because the dependency chain
when saving the configuration goes back up to the (newly-set!) custom
(def)config file, which does not exist.
So, we break the dependency chain so that saving the configuration does
not depend on that file. Instead, we use a terminal rule that checks
that the configuration has indeed been done, and fails if not.
Closes #8156.
