Currently the Kconfig fragments in kernel/configs and arch/*/configs
that aren't used internally aren't discoverable through "make help",
which consists of hard-coded lists of config fragments. Instead, list
all the fragment targets that have a "# Help: " comment prefix so the
targets can be generated dynamically.
Add logic to the Makefile to search for and display the fragment and
comment. Add comments to fragments that are intended to be direct targets.

The kernel has a wide variety of debugging options to help catch
and squash bugs. However, new debugging is added all the time and
the existing options can be hard to find.
Add a Kconfig fragment with the debugging options which tip
maintainers expect to be used to test contributions.
This should make it easier for contributors to test their code and
find issues before submission.

out by Nathan Chancellor <[email protected]>. ]
