[PATCH v2 3/3] fortify: use if_changed_dep to record header dependency in *.cmd files

After building with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y, many .*.d files are left
in lib/test_fortify/ because the compiler outputs header dependencies
into *.d without fixdep being invoked.

When compiling C files, if_changed_dep should be used so that the
auto-generated header dependencies are recorded in .*.cmd files.

Currently, if_changed is incorrectly used, and only two headers are
hard-coded in lib/Makefile.

In the previous patch version, the kbuild test robot detected new errors
on GCC 7.

GCC 7 or older does not produce test.d with the following test code:

$ echo 'void b(void) __attribute__((__error__(""))); void a(void) { b(); }' |
gcc -Wp,-MMD,test.d -c -o /dev/null -x c -

Perhaps, this was a bug that existed in older GCC versions.

Skip the tests for GCC<=7 for now, as this will be eventually solved
when we bump the minimal supported GCC version.
