The kconfig documentation suggests using plain 'diff' to compare config
files and then adds "Yes, we need something better here". Commit
a717417e7f ("kconfig: add diffconfig utility") added what that comment
was looking for.

alldefconfig create a configuration with all values set
to their default value (form the Kconfig files).
This may be useful when we try to use more sensible default
values and may also be used in combination with
the minimal defconfigs.

To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to
distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file
listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional
config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y'
or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in
obj-Y.

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'".

Create a kconfig user assistance guide, with a few tips and hints
about using menuconfig, xconfig, and gconfig.
Mostly contains user interface, environment variables, and search topics,
along with mini.config/custom.config usage.
