Documentation/kconfig: more concise and straightforward search explanation

Re-phrase the explanations on the sorting of search results, in a more
concise and complete way.

Drop reference to the user's locale when sorting alphabetically, since
this is implicit.

When searching, symbols are sorted thus:
- exact match first: an exact match is when the search matches
the complete symbol name;
- alphabetical order: when two symbols do not match exactly,
they are sorted in alphabetical order (in the user's current
locale).
- first, exact matches, sorted alphabetically (an exact match
is when the search matches the complete symbol name);
- then, other matches, sorted alphabetically.
For example: ^ATH.K matches:
ATH5K ATH9K ATH5K_AHB ATH5K_DEBUG [...] ATH6KL ATH6KL_DEBUG
[...] ATH9K_AHB ATH9K_BTCOEX_SUPPORT ATH9K_COMMON [...]
