[PATCH] kconfig: update user kconfig tools doc.

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Update Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.txt, which mostly contains
user help for using the kernel config tools.

- Add mention of 'nconfig' embedded help text.
- Make the section on new config symbols readable.
- Correct how to find menuconfig search help.
- Add section on 'nconfig' usage.
- Mention that gconfig has multiple viewing modes/options.

+nconfig is an alternate text-based configurator.  It lists function
