Sam Ravnborg 80ef88d6d2 x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.config
Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again
can set 64BIT in all.config.

For a fix the diffstat is nice:
 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)

The patch reverts these commits:
0f855aa64b
-> kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable

2a113281f5
-> kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets

Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string
compares so the additional complexity introduced by the
above two patches were not needed.

With this patch we have following behaviour:

# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch      | 32bit         | 64bit
=====================================================
./.                     | 32bit         | 64bit
ARCH=x86                | 32bit         | 32bit
ARCH=i386               | 32bit         | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit

The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture
takes precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit
kernel no matter what the configuration says.
The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was
configured to 64-bit and the other way around.

This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so
no suprises here.

make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel
but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select
between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.
