staging: android: Add some Kconfig help entries
This commit adds Kconfig entries for the following:
1: ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
2: ASHMEM (additional text)
3: ANDROID_LOGGER
It also changes "Register" to "Registers" in
ANDROID_LOW_MEMORY_KILLER
Finally, all "help" instances are changed to "---help---",
as recommended by kconfig-language.txt in order to visually
aid developers.
