mbedtls: kconfig: created MBEDTLS_PROMPTLESS and CUSTOM_MBEDTLS_CFG_FILE
Introducing MBEDTLS_PROMPTLESS and CUSTOM_MBEDTLS_CFG_FILE settings.
The MBEDTLS_PROMPTLESS can be set to true whenever configuration of
mbedTLS is done from a subsystem or module.
Such an example is OpenThread, which selects mbedTLS for some predefined
crypto settings using OPENTHREAD_MBEDTLS=y.
Unfortunately, extensive use of select can easily cause stuck symbol
syndrome making it harder than neccesarry for users to later reconfigure
as they easily get stuck in incompatible configurations.
Providing a MBEDTLS_PROMPTLESS allows such configurations to disable the
MBEDTLS prompt itself when selected but avoid stuck symbol if user
select another security configuration.
Similar with CUSTOM_MBEDTLS_CFG_FILE which ensures that user must
explicitly select this symbol before providing a custom mbedTLS config
file.
Today, other parts the Kconfig tree may set a default value for
MBEDTLS_CFG_FILE but that value is stuck and thus changed Kconfig
selections elsewhere in the tree will not adjust the value.
Introducing CUSTOM_MBEDTLS_CFG_FILE ensures it is known when the user
has provided the value.
