rules.mak: New logical functions for handling y/n values

Add new logical functions for handling y/n values like those we
use in CONFIG_FOO variables:
 lnot : logical NOT
 land : logical AND
 lor : logical OR
 lxor : logical XOR
 leqv : logical equality, inverse of lxor
 lif : like Make's $(if) but with an eq-like test

Based on an idea by Ákos Kovács <akoskovacs@gmx.com>.
