kbuild: check for wrong use of CFLAGS
External modules have in a few cases modifed gcc option by modifying CFLAGS. This has never been documented and was a bad practice. With the check to use KBUILD_CFLAGS it will no longer work so we better error out and tell what was wrong as a service to the external module users. This check can be overruled if KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC is set to something. Addid this possibility may allow older external module to build without any code modifications but potentially only loosing some un-important gcc options.
