kconfig: convert linked list of files to hash table



Currently, a linked list is used to keep track of all the Kconfig
files that have ever been parsed. Every time the "source" statement
is encountered, the linked list is traversed to check if the file has
been opened before. This prevents the same file from being recorded
in include/config/auto.conf.cmd again.

Given 1500+ Kconfig files parsed, a hashtable is now a more optimal
data structure.

By the way, you may wonder why we check this in the first place.
It matters only when the same file is included multiple times.
In old days, such a use case was forbidden, but commit f094f8a1
("kconfig: allow multiple inclusion of the same file") provided a bit
more flexibility. Of course, it is almost hypothetical...
