The nolibc testsuite wants to generate an initrams without linking it
into the kernel for which it needs access to gen_init_cpio.
Add a new toplevel target for it so it can be built standalone.

Kbuild maintainers:

If there is a way that does not require modification of the toplevel
Makefile that would be nice, too.
I followed the example of the "scripts_unifdef" target.
