kbuild: add test-{ge,gt,le,lt} macros

GNU Make 4.4 introduced $(intcmp ...), which is useful to compare two
integers without forking a new process.

Add test-{ge,gt,le,lt} macros, which work more efficiently with GNU
Make >= 4.4. For older Make versions, they fall back to the 'test'
shell command.

The first two parameters to $(intcmp ...) must not be empty. To avoid
the syntax error, I appended '0' to them. Fortunately, '00' is treated
as '0'. This is needed because CONFIG options may expand to an empty
string when the kernel configuration is not included.
