kconfig: remove ---help--- from documentation
Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), scripts/checkpatch.pl warns the use of ---help---. Kconfig still supports ---help---, but new code should avoid using it. Let's stop advertising it in documentation. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

This defines a help text. The end of the help text is determined by
the indentation level, this means it ends at the first line which has
a smaller indentation than the first line of the help text.
- "---help---" and "help" do not differ in behaviour, "---help---" is
- used to help visually separate configuration logic from help within
