Since retpoline capable compilers are widely available, make
CONFIG_RETPOLINE hard depend on it.

Change KBUILD to use CONFIG_RETPOLINE_SUPPORT to avoid conflict with
CONFIG_RETPOLINE which is used by kernel.

With all that stuff, the check of RETPOLINE is changed to
CONFIG_RETPOLINE.

This change is based on suggestion in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/18/1016
