This pull request enhances kernel_patch_verify with two key improvements:

  1. Support for separate build output directories
  2. Improved formatting of error messages for missing applications

Testing

Sample output for missing packages:

Sample usage for a different build DIR.

/path/to/kernel_patch_verify -O /path/to/build/output"

Add visual emphasis with colored error message (red background) and
provide clearer guidance to users when required applications are
missing. Also fix the application check to use recommend_missing_application
directly to simplify the error handling flow.
This way, unnecessary printing of usage guide is avoided when there's
a more fundamental issue at hand like missing packages.

Add -O option to specify a build output directory for out-of-tree
kernel builds. This allows using O= make parameter for builds in a
separate directory from the kernel source tree. Update all .config
and make operations to respect BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR when specified.
