Rename the unwinder config options from:
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_UNWINDER
CONFIG_GUESS_UNWINDER
to:
CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC
CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER
CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS
... in order to give them a more logical config namespace.

There are three mutually exclusive unwinders. Make that more obvious by
combining them into a multiple-choice selection:
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_UNWINDER
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER
CONFIG_GUESS_UNWINDER (if CONFIG_EXPERT=y)
Frame pointers are still the default (for now).
The old CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER option is still used in some
arch-independent places, so keep it around, but make it
invisible to the user on x86 - it's now selected by
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_UNWINDER=y.

Using "make tinyconfig" produces a couple of annoying warnings that show
up for build test machines all the time:
.config:966:warning: override: NOHIGHMEM changes choice state
.config:965:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
.config:963:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state
.config:962:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
.config:933:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
.config:930:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
.config:870:warning: override: SLOB changes choice state
.config:868:warning: override: KERNEL_XZ changes choice state
.config:867:warning: override: CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE changes choice state
I've made a previous attempt at fixing them and we discussed a number of
alternatives.
I tried changing the Makefile to use "merge_config.sh -n
$(fragment-list)" but couldn't get that to work properly.
This is yet another approach, based on the observation that we do want
to see a warning for conflicting 'choice' options, and that we can
simply make them non-conflicting by listing all other options as
disabled. This is a trivial patch that we can apply independent of
plans for other changes.

Since commit 5d2acfc7b974bbd3858b4dd3f2cdc6362dd8843a ("kconfig: make
allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT") in 3.15-rc1,
"make allnoconfig" disables every possible config option.
However, a few configuration options (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE,
OPTIMIZE_INLINING) produce a smaller kernel when turned on, and a few
choices exist (compression, highmem, allocator) for which a non-default
option produces a smaller kernel.
Add a "tinyconfig" option, which starts from allnoconfig and then sets
these options to configure the tiniest possible kernel. This provides a
better baseline for embedded systems or efforts to reduce kernel size.
