Add "Map" kbuild option, so that "make Map=1" would save vmlinux linker
map into vmlinux.map, which is quite useful during making kernel changes
related to how the kernel is composed.
KBUILD_SAVE_LINK_MAP flag is exported and architectures
supporting compressed kernel images might respect it and produce
arch/*/boot/compressed/vmlinux.map for the decompressor code as well.

If the map file is quite useful, should it be generated all the time?
Or, how about CONFIG option if you want this conditionally generated?
I do not want to increase fine-grained command-line switches
except _really_ useful ones.
