* gnu/packages/linux.scm (config->string): add a clause handling strings

Allows for the declarative configuration of kconfig options which accept
strings, such as CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY.

I've enclosed the given string in quotes, but don't do any kind of
escaping. See the kernel mailing list for the current state of escaped
strings upstream:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kbuild/patch/1431003982-992-1-git-send-email-sr <at> denx.de/

Apologies to those with double-quotes or backslashes in their
CONFIG_SYSTEM_*_KEYS.

Applied.

If needed, a cheap and often “good enough” way to escape strings is
‘object->string’:

  (display (object->string "foo\"bar\"baz"))
  => "foo\"bar\"baz"

Would that help here?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
