gcov: remove CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT
CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT compiles either gcc_3_4.c or gcc_4_7.c
according to your GCC version.
We can achieve the equivalent behavior by setting reasonable dependency
with the knowledge of the compiler version.
If GCC older than 4.7 is used, GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 is the default, but users
are still allowed to select GCOV_FORMAT_4_7 in case the newer format is
back-ported.
On the other hand, If GCC 4.7 or newer is used, there is no reason to
use GCOV_FORMAT_3_4, so it should be hidden.
If you downgrade the compiler to GCC 4.7 or older, oldconfig/syncconfig
will display a prompt for the choice because GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 becomes
visible as a new symbol.
