Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Currently for custom kernels, it's necessary to keep a separate
  annotations file that often gets out of sync with the corresponding
  file in debian.master/.

  The "debian/scripts/config-check" script can be changed to allow
  additional annotations files to act as overlays over the original
  annotations file, allowing custom kernels to override the policies
  just for the relevant configs.

  The proposal is to add support for an include directive in the
  annotations file so custom kernels can include the annotations file
  from its base kernel and override policies on a config basis.

  [Test Case]

  A kernel build should complete successfully after the change.

  
  [Regression Potential] 

  Low regression potential since that's a change on the build process
  that doesn't affect the final kernel that is built.
