This commit refactors the check for missing configuration files, making
it easier to add more files to the list.
The format of the error message has been slightly changed, as follows:
[Before]
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.
[After]
***
*** ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. The following files are missing:
*** - include/generated/autoconf.h
*** - include/config/auto.conf
*** Run "make oldconfig && make prepare" on kernel source to fix it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
