kconfig: add more help messages to config symbols

Add help messages to all visible symbols except those heap-related ones which
will be dropped eventually.

v2 -> v3

* Fix typos and misleading descriptions.

v1 -> v2

* Per kconfig language, help messages shall have a larger indent level than the
  attributes.
* Rephrase for clarify.
