package/linux-headers: improve help text and prompt

Browse Source 
The way the help text and prompt for the kernel header version choice is
written can be misleading to some users.

Rewite them so it is more explicit.

help
Select the version of kernel header files you wish to use.
You must select the correct set of header files to match
the kernel you intend to use on your target system.
Select the kernel version to get headers from.
The kernel headers must be at least as old as the oldest kernel
you intend to run on your target.
If you use Buildroot to build a kernel, then you can use
the sources from that kernel as source for the headers.
If you choose a custom version of the kernel headers, or choose
to use the same sources as the kernel, you'll have to select
(below) the series of that kernel, so that Buildroot can show
or hide packages that have strong requirements on the kernel
headers.

Set to the kernel headers series you manually set above.
Specify the kernel headers series you manually selected, above.
This is used to hide/show some packages that have strict
requirements on the version of kernel headers.
