kernel.bbclass: use defconfig if it exists

It is common enough to want to apply a defconfig if the inheriting
recipe provides it. If the file exists in the $WORKDIR, copy it
over to ${S}/.config provided the target does not already exist.

This allows for recipes derived from kernel.bbclass to manage the
.config on their own, such as linux.inc.
