    Makefile: install modules.builtin even if CONFIG_MODULES=n · e0b250b5

    Many applications check for available kernel features via:
    
      - /proc/modules (loaded modules, present if CONFIG_MODULES=y)
      - $(MODLIB)/modules.builtin (builtin modules)
    
    They fail to detect features if the kernel was built with CONFIG_MODULES=n
    and modules.builtin isn't installed.
    
    Therefore, add the target "_builtin_inst_" and make "install" and
    "modules_install" depend on it.
    
    Tests results:
    
      - make install: kernel image is copied as before, modules.builtin copied
      - make modules_install: (CONFIG_MODULES=n) nothing is copied, exit 1
