kconfig: resort the documentation of the environment variables

All the KCONFIG_ environment variables were previously located in a
section "Environment variables in 'menuconfig'", but neither are they
restricted to 'menuconfig' nor are they all used by 'menuconfig'.

Introduce the following three sections for these variables:
  * Environment variables for '*config'
  * Environment variables for '{allyes/allmod/allno/rand}config'
  * Environment variables for 'silentoldconfig'

Furthermore this puts MENUCONFIG_MODE next to MENUCONFIG_COLOR into a
common section "User interface options for 'menuconfig'".

SEARCHING for CONFIG symbols
Searching in menuconfig:
The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
names, so you have to know something close to what you are
looking for.
Example:
/hotplug
This lists all config symbols that contain "hotplug",
e.g., HOTPLUG, HOTPLUG_CPU, MEMORY_HOTPLUG.
For search help, enter / followed TAB-TAB-TAB (to highlight
<Help>) and Enter. This will tell you that you can also use
regular expressions (regexes) in the search string, so if you
are not interested in MEMORY_HOTPLUG, you could try
/^hotplug

Color Themes for 'menuconfig' Environment variables for '*config'
It is possible to select different color themes using the variable KCONFIG_CONFIG
MENUCONFIG_COLOR. To select a theme use: --------------------------------------------------

file name to override the default name of ".config".
make MENUCONFIG_COLOR=<theme> menuconfig KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG
--------------------------------------------------
If you set KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG in the environment, Kconfig will not
break symlinks when .config is a symlink to somewhere else.
Available themes are: KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP
mono => selects colors suitable for monochrome displays --------------------------------------------------
blackbg => selects a color scheme with black background If this environment variable exists and is non-null, the timestamp line
classic => theme with blue background. The classic look in generated .config files is omitted.
bluetitle => a LCD friendly version of classic. (default)
