[ Upstream commit 8c94b430b9f6213dec84e309bb480a71778c4213 ]

If the user selects the very first entry in a page and performs a
search-up operation, or selects the very last entry in a page and
performs a search-down operation that will not succeed (e.g., via
[/]asdfzzz[Up Arrow]), nconf will never terminate searching the page.

The reason is that in this case, the starting point will be set to -1
or n, which is then translated into (n - 1) (i.e., the last entry of
the page) or 0 (i.e., the first entry of the page) and finally the
search begins. This continues to work fine until the index reaches 0 or
(n - 1), at which point it will be decremented to -1 or incremented to
n, but not checked against the starting point right away. Instead, it's
wrapped around to the bottom or top again, after which the starting
point check occurs... and naturally fails.

My original implementation added another check for -1 before wrapping
the running index variable around, but Masahiro Yamada pointed out that
the actual issue is that the comparison point (starting point) exceeds
bounds (i.e., the [0,n-1] interval) in the first place and that,
instead, the starting point should be fixed.

This has the welcome side-effect of also fixing the case where the
starting point was n while searching down, which also lead to an
infinite loop.

OTOH, this code is now essentially all his work.

Amazingly, nobody seems to have been hit by this for 11 years - or at
the very least nobody bothered to debug and fix this.

<title>kconfig: omit --oldaskconfig option for 'make config'</title>

scripts/kconfig/conf.c line 39 defines the default of input_mode as
oldaskconfig. Hence, 'make config' works in the same way even without
the --oldaskconfig option given. Note this in the help message.

This will be helpful to unify build rules in Makefile in the next
commit.

<title>kconfig: fix 'invalid option' for help option</title>

scripts/kconfig/conf supports -? option to show the help message.
This is not wired up to Makefile, so nobody would notice this, but
it also shows 'invalid option' message.

  $ ./scripts/kconfig/conf -?
  ./scripts/kconfig/conf: invalid option -- '?'
  Usage: ./scripts/kconfig/conf [-s] [option] &lt;kconfig-file&gt;
  [option] is _one_ of the following:
    --listnewconfig         List new options
    --helpnewconfig         List new options and help text
    --oldaskconfig          Start a new configuration using a line-oriented program
    ...

The reason is the '?' is missing in the short option list passed to
getopt_long().

While I fixed this issue, I also changed the option '?' to 'h'.
I prefer -h (or --help, if a long option is also desired).

conf_askvalue() is only called for oldconfig, syncconfig, and
oldaskconfig. If it is called for other cases, it is a bug.

So, the code after the switch statement is unreachable.

Remove the dead code, and clean up the switch statement.

Unify the outer two if-conditionals into one. This decreases the
indent level by one.

Also, change the if-else blocks:

    if (input_mode == listnewconfig) {
            ...
    } else if (input_mode == helpnewconfig) {
            ...
    } else {
            ...
    }

into the switch statement.

the whole command line is treated as the program name (with spaces

Changes the final fallback path in the ncurses locator for mconf
to support host compilers with a non-default sysroot.

This is similar to the hardcoded search for ncurses under
'/usr/include', but can support compilers that keep their default
header and library directories elsewhere.

For nconfig, do nothing because the only vendor compiler I'm aware
of with this layout (Apple Clang) ships an ncurses version that's too
old for nconfig anyway.
