Add --kernel-append-localversion option
Now that we moved $ARCH value to kernel's LOCALVERSION setting,
you cannot easily change LOCALVERSION anymore without losing
$ARCH information.
This can be annoying when you just want to build a new revision
which should have its own kernel binary, initramfs and modules
directory because you would have to remember to include default
value.
The new option will allow you to just append to genkernel's
KERNEL_LOCALVERSION value. This way you can just call genkernel
with --kernel-append-localversion=-rN option to build and test
a new revision.
