Temporary menuconfig file not removed by make mrproper

Temporary menuconfig file not removed by make mrproper

[Stuart MacDonald]

linux/scripts/lxdialog/lxtemp.c was left behind after hitting <ctrl-c>
during a make menuconfig. clean, distclean and mrproper all failed to
remove it.

Not sure how this could be handled for the general case; is there a
standard "this is a temporary file" tag that could be used so that
clean/mrproper would catch arbitrary temporary files? ie lxtemp~~.c or
similar.

Attached patch fixes this.

In the top-level Makefile there is an ugly long list of generated files,
which is removed upon make clean & make mrproper.
I would like to get rid of that one, and build it up when the files are
generated. Later...
