[PATCH v2 1/8] kconfig: print symbol type in help text

[Li Zefan]

Randy suggested to print out the symbol type in gconfig.

Note this change does more than Randy's suggestion, that it also
affects menuconfig and "make config".

  â Symbol: BLOCK [=y]
  â Type  : boolean
  â Prompt: Enable the block layer
  â   Defined at block/Kconfig:4
  â   Depends on: EMBEDDED [=n]
