[PATCH] kconfig: remove ---help--- from documentation

[PATCH] kconfig: remove ---help--- from documentation

[Masahiro Yamada]

Commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), scripts/checkpatch.pl warns the use of ---help---.

This still exists, but new code should avoid using it.
Let's stop advertising it in documentation.
