[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] directfb: add help text to Config.in, note broken URL

[Jonathan Ben-Avraham]

Adds descriptive help text to Config.in based on content from elinux.org and
Wikipedia. Notes that http://www.directfb.org/ has been broken for more than
five months and suggests using http://elinux.org/DirectFB instead.
