include/compat: produce stubs for headers not otherwise generated

Public headers can include other public headers. Such interdependencies
are retained in their compat counterparts. Since some compat headers are
generated only in certain configurations, the referenced headers still
need to exist. The lack thereof was observed with hvm/hvm_op.h needing
trace.h, where generation of the latter depends on TRACEBUFFER=y. Make
empty stubs in such cases (as generating the extra headers is relatively
slow and hence better to avoid). Changes to .config and incrementally
(re-)building is covered by the respective .*.cmd then no longer
matching the command to be used, resulting in the necessary re-creation
of the (possibly stub) header.
