[Buildroot] [git commit] config: improve help text and prompt for debugging related options

[Peter Korsgaard]

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=a9a346768b1f7fe8da8776795b2795f5573b5555
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The help text for the choice of different stripping levels is removed,
since it is not displayed by menuconfig. Instead, only the per-option
help text is visible, so this text is improved.

[Peter: slightly reworked text]
