kbuild: use $(abspath ...) instead of $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd)
Kbuild conventionally uses $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd) idiom to get
the absolute path of the directory because GNU Make 3.80, the minimal
supported version at that time, did not support $(abspath ...) or
$(realpath ...).
Commit 37d69ee30808 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81")
dropped the GNU Make 3.80 support, so we are now allowed to use those
make-builtin helpers.
This conversion will provide better portability without relying on
the pwd command or its location /bin/pwd.
I am intentionally using $(realpath ...) instead $(abspath ...) in
some places. The difference between the two is $(realpath ...)
returns an empty string if the given path does not exist. It is
convenient in places where we need to error-out if the makefile fails
to create an output directory.
