Config.in: update description of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB

Browse Source 
With time BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB option meaning changed from "prefer static
libs when possible" to "do not build dynamic libs and build statically linked
applications".

This patch changes the option description.

Note that variable name is kept unchanged on purpose - it will be modified later
when real "prefer static" mode will be introduced.

[Peter: tweak help text as suggested by Thomas and Yann]

Where possible, build and use static libraries for the target.
This potentially increases your code size and should only be
Build all applications for the target statically linked.
This potentially increases your filesystem size and should only be
used if you know what you do.
The default is to build dynamic libraries and use those on
the target filesystem.
WARNING: This is highly experimental at the moment.
Note that some applications cannot be build statically and so are
intentionally disabled.
The default (if this option is disabled) is to build dynamic
libraries and dynamically link applications to use those on the
target filesystem.
