Currently, as Thomas pointed out [0], the help for kconfig packages is
not consistently used and handled by the different packages.
This commit introduces a generic help text for kconfig packages, that is
based on what the package declares:
- the list of kconfig editors it supports;
- whether it is possible to save back the configuration (impossible if
the package uses an in-tree defconfig file);
- whether the package actually supports (loading and saving) defconfig
files, by introducing a new variable a package can set if it does
not (only busybox is known to be in that case).
That new help helper is only used if the package does not already define
its own help, to be consistent with what we do for other _CMDS.
