Victor Sun bce6a3c4f9 Makefile: support make with external configurations
Customer might have specific folder where stores their own configurations
for their customized scenario/board, so add TARGET_DIR parameter to support
option that build hyprvisor with specified configurations.

So valid usages are: (target = all | hypervisor)
 1. make <target>
 2. make <target> KCONFIG_FILE=xxx [TARGET_DIR=xxx]
 3. make <target> BOARD=xxx SCENARIO=xxx [TARGET_DIR=xxx]
 4. make <target> BOARD_FILE=xxx SCENARIO_FILE=xxx [TARGET_DIR=xxx]
 5. make <target> KCONFIG_FILE=xxx BOARD_FILE=xxx SCENARIO_FILE=xxx [TARGET_DIR=xxx]

If TARGET_DIR parameter is not specified in make command, hypervisor will be
built with board configurations under hypervisor/arch/x86/configs/ and scenario
configurations under hypervisor/scenarios/. Moreover, the configurations would
be overwritten if BOARD/SCENARIO files are specified in make command.

If TARGET_DIR parameter is specified in make command, hypervisor will be built
with configuration under that folder if no BOARD/SCENARIO files are specified.
When BOARD/SCENARIO files are available in make command, the TARGET_DIR is used
to store configurations that BOARD/SCENARIO file provided, i.e. Configurations
in TARGET_DIR folder will be overwritten.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
