If $KBUILD_OUTPUT is set, use it by default if --file is not passed.

Fix the issue when the script silently updates a stale .config in
the root directory, while the user expects ${KBUILD_OUTPUT}/.config
to be updated.
The problem can be worked around with --file, but this is easy to miss,
and is inconsistent with how the Makefile and other tools work
(e.g., scripts/diffconfig).
