kbuild: get rid of misleading $(AS) from documents
The assembler files in the kernel are *.S instead of *.s, so they must
be preprocessed. Since 'as' of GNU binutils is not able to preprocess,
we always use $(CC) as an assembler driver.
$(AS) is almost unused in Kbuild. As of v5.2, there is just one place
that directly invokes $(AS).
$ git grep -e '$(AS)' -e '${AS}' -e '$AS' -e '$(AS:' -e '${AS:' -- :^Documentation
drivers/net/wan/Makefile: AS68K = $(AS)
The documentation about *_AFLAGS* sounds like the flags were passed
to $(AS). This is somewhat misleading.
