[U-Boot] [PATCH] kconfig: show an error message when defconfig is not found

[Masahiro Yamada]

When a non-existing defconfig is specified,
display an easy-to-understand message
(fake the error message on Linux Kernel):

  $ make foo_defconfig
  ***
  *** Can't find default configuration "confis/foo_defconfig"!
  ***

Echo to stderr rather than stdout seems better for an error message. I'm 
not sure the *** banner part of the message is that useful, but it's not 
a big deal.
