kconfig: Error out on duplicated kconfig inclusion
Let kconfig exit with error on duplicated Kconfig file inclusion.

Repeated inclusion of Kbuild files are considered bad-practise with
regard to maintenance; and Kconfig language is rich enough that there
should be no need for that.

If repeated inclusion of Kconfig files is detected, error out with
messages like:

    Kconfig.inc1:4: error: repeated inclusion of Kconfig.inc3
    Kconfig.inc2:3: note: location of first inclusion of Kconfig.inc3

While commit f094f8a1b2 ("kconfig: allow multiple inclusion of the
same file") introduced detection of recursive inclusions of Kconfig
files, it explicitly allowed repeated inclusions, unfortunately w/o
reasoning.
