configure: add possibility to set arbitrary variable in check_for

If check_for is able to find the required prog/inc/lib, allow it to
set an arbitrary variable to 'y'. This variable is then pushed down
to the kconfig definition.

For example:
has_or_abort prog=foobar kconfig=has_foobar

If foobar is available, it yields a kconfig variable defaulting to y:
config CONFIGURE_has_foobar
bool
default y

If foobar is missing, it yields a kconfig variable defaulting to n:
config CONFIGURE_has_foobar
bool

Thus it is possible to depends on that variabel to show/hide options:
config SOME_FEATURE
bool
prompt "Some feature"
depends on CONFIGURE_has_foobar

     7 The gethostbyname4() lookup method is problematic since it fires out both

     8 the A and AAAA DNS queries in parallel and over the same socket. This

     9 should work in theory, but it turns out that many cheap DSL modems and

    10 similar devices have buggy DNS servers - if the AAAA query arrives too

    11 quickly after the A query, the server will generate only a single reply

    12 with the A query id but returning an error for the AAAA query; we get

    13 stuck waiting for the second reply.

    14 

    15 For gethostbyname4() users affected, disabling IPv6 in the system might

    16 work around the issue, unfortunately it only helps with applications

    17 using AI_ADDRCONFIG (e.g. Firefox); some (notably e.g. Pidgin) neglect

    18 to do that.

    19 

    20 Real fix should be using separate ports for the A and AAAA queries.
