utils/genrandconfig: reduce the maximum "size" of random configurations

Browse Source 
genrandconfig is used by the Buildroot autobuilders to generate
semi-random configurations that we build test. As part of this, we use
"make randpackageconfig" to randomize the selection of packages,
together with a KCONFIG_PROBABILITY value, which indicates the
probabibility for each option to be enabled. This probability is
itself randomized, between 1% and 30% for every build.

However, with our increasing number of packages (over 2900), when we
use a 30% probability for options to be enabled, it means a *lot* of
options are enabled, causing very large configurations to be
tested. These configurations are not very realistic, and they take
ages to build on our autobuilders: we have builds that take 4, 5 or
even 7 hours to build.

In order to test a larger number of configurations and therefore a
larger variety of configurations, this commit reduces the maximum
probability to 20%.
