kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].
