kbuild: fix if_change and friends to consider argument order

Currently, arg-check is implemented as follows:

  arg-check = $(strip $(filter-out $(cmd_$(1)), $(cmd_$@)) \
                      $(filter-out $(cmd_$@),   $(cmd_$(1))) )

This does not care about the order of arguments that appear in
$(cmd_$(1)) and $(cmd_$@).  So, if_changed and friends never rebuild
the target if only the argument order is changed.  This is a problem
when the link order is changed.

Apparently,

  obj-y += foo.o
  obj-y += bar.o

and

  obj-y += bar.o
  obj-y += foo.o

should be distinguished because the link order determines the probe
order of drivers.  So, built-in.o should be rebuilt when the order
of objects is changed.

This commit fixes arg-check to compare the old/current commands
including the argument order.

Of course, this change has a side effect; Kbuild will react to the
change of compile option order.  For example, "-DFOO -DBAR" and
"-DBAR -DFOO" should give no difference to the build result, but
false positive should be better than false negative.

I am moving space_escape to the top of Kbuild.include just for a
matter of preference.  In practical terms, space_escape can be
defined after arg-check because arg-check uses "=" flavor, not ":=".
Having said that, collecting convenient variables in one place makes
sense from the point of readability.

Chaining "%%%SPACE%%%" to "_-_SPACE_-_" is also a matter of taste
at this point.  Actually, it can be arbitrary as long as it is an
unlikely used string.  The only problem I see in "%%%SPACE%%%" is
that "%" is a special character in "$(patsubst ...)" context.  This
commit just uses "$(subst ...)" for arg-check, but I am fixing it now
in case we might want to use it in $(patsubst ...) context in the
future.
