Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: move -pipe to global KBUILD_CFLAGS

-pipe reduces unnecessary disk wear for systems where /tmp is not a
tmpfs, slightly increases compilation speed, and avoids leaving behind
files when gcc crashes.

According to the gcc manual, "this fails to work on some systems where
the assembler is unable to read from a pipe; but the GNU assembler has
no trouble". We already require GNU ld on all platforms, so this is not
an additional dependency. LLVM as also supports pipes.

-pipe has always been used for most architectures, this change
standardizes it globally. Most notably, arm, arm64, riscv, and x86 are
affected.
