[PATCH RFC 2/8] kconfig: add KDEVOPS_MAKE_VERBOSE option for persistent verbose output

From: Daniel Gomez <[email protected]>

Add a new kconfig option in the "Kdevops configuration" menu to enable
verbose make output (V=1) by default. This promotes make verbosity from
a command-line-only option to a first-class configuration setting.

Features:
- KDEVOPS_MAKE_VERBOSE bool option in menuconfig
- Early parsing in main Makefile before V= logic
- Command line override support with proper priority:
  1. CLI V=0/V=1 (highest priority)
  2. CONFIG_KDEVOPS_MAKE_VERBOSE=y (persistent default)
  3. Built-in quiet mode (fallback)

Usage examples:
- make target          → Uses kconfig setting
- make V=0 target      → CLI overrides to quiet
- make V=1 target      → CLI overrides to verbose

This allows users to set a persistent verbosity preference while
maintaining full command-line flexibility, following industry
standard patterns used by Rust/Cargo, Kubernetes, and other tools.
