[PATCH] - Add "def_bool" Kconfig format documentation

[PATCH] - Add "def_bool" Kconfig format documentation

[Vincent Legoll]

Hello,

here is a small documentation patch for the KConfig file format
"def_bool" type definition that was missing.

I hope the patch is not mangled...

while the parser recognizes "def_boolean", it's not used anywhere in
the tree.  perhaps it can simply be dropped in favour of def_bool.
