module: Move module's Kconfig items in kernel/module/
In init/Kconfig, the part dedicated to modules is quite large.
Move it into a dedicated Kconfig in kernel/module/
MODULES_TREE_LOOKUP was outside of the 'if MODULES', but as it is
only used when MODULES are set, move it in with everything else to
avoid confusion.
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is left in init/Kconfig because this configuration
item is not used in kernel/modules/ but in kernel/ and can be
selected independently from CONFIG_MODULES. It is for instance
selected from security/integrity/ima/Kconfig.
