[PATCH v2] build: target: improve UX of CONFIG_TARGET handling

[Petr Štetiar]

Make it clear, that for `make kernel_{menu,old}config` it's possible to
use only following values for CONFIG_TARGET variable:

 * env
 * target
 * subtarget
 * subtarget_target

This should prevent misuse like `make kernel_menuconfig
CONFIG_TARGET=bcm2710` etc.

Keep support for obsolete `platform` and `subtarget_platform` targets
with deprecation notice so this compat stuff could be removed in the
future.

Changes since v1:

 * added `platform` and `subtarget_platform` compat with deprecation warning (pepe2k)
