Instead of all or nothing approach of overriding Kconfig file location, allow to extend it with extra values and override chosen subset of values though optional user-provided extra config, passed as a string through open options' .kconfig option. If same config key is present in both user-supplied config and Kconfig, user-supplied one wins. This allows applications to more easily test various conditions despite host kernel's real configuration. If all of BPF object's __kconfig externs are satisfied from user-supplied config, system Kconfig won't be read at all. Simplify selftests by not needing to create temporary Kconfig files.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
