build: make sure build fails when running kconfig fails

Because of using "-include", failure to (re)build auto.conf (with
auto.conf.cmd produced as a secondary target) won't stop make from
continuing the build. Arrange for it being possible to drop the - from
Rules.mk, requiring that the include be skipped for tools-only targets.
Note that relying on the inclusion in those cases wouldn't be correct
anyway, as it might be a stale file (yet to be rebuilt) which would be
included, while during initial build, the file would be absent
altogether.
