kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help
As explained by Michal Marek at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/31/189 silentoldconfig has become a misnomer. It has become an internal interface so remove it from "make help" and Documentation/ to stop confusing people using it as seen for instance at https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/835632 Don't remove it from kconfig/Makefile yet not to break any (other) tool using it. On the other hand, correct and expand its description in the help of the (internal) scripts/kconfig/conf.c Signed-off-by: Marc Herbert <marc.herbert@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
