ZFS depends on EFI_PARTITION, ZLIB_DEFLATE and ZLIB_INFLATE, but when
ZFS is integrated with the kernel source tree, menuconfig does not
enforce these dependencies. This can cause build failures in the case of
ZLIB_DEFLATE and ZLIB_INFLATE where symbols are not found. This can also
cause runtime failures in the case of EFI_PARTITION, where the kernel
will not understand GPT partitions when creating pools from raw disks.
We solve this by making menuconfig aware of these dependencies.

Closes#854
This commit introduces a "copy-builtin" script designed to prepare a
kernel source tree for building ZFS as a builtin module. The script
makes a full copy of all needed files, thus making the kernel source
tree fully independent of the zfs source package.
To achieve that, some compilation flags (-include, -I) have been moved
to module/Makefile. This Makefile is only used when compiling external
modules; when compiling builtin modules, a Kbuild file generated by the
configure-builtin script is used instead. This makes sure Makefiles
inside the kernel source tree does not contain references to the zfs
source package.
