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.

config ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
bool "Android Binder IPC Driver"
default n
---help---
Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,
and remote method invocation.
This means one Android process can call a method/routine in another
Android process, using Binder to identify, invoke and pass arguments
between said processes.
config ASHMEM
bool "Enable the Anonymous Shared Memory Subsystem"

help
---help---
The ashmem subsystem is a new shared memory allocator, similar to
POSIX SHM but with different behavior and sporting a simpler
file-based API.
It is, in theory, a good memory allocator for low-memory devices,
because it can discard shared memory units when under memory pressure.
config ANDROID_LOGGER
tristate "Android log driver"
default n
---help---
This adds support for system-wide logging using four log buffers.
These are:
1: main
2: events
3: radio
4: system
Log reading and writing is performed via normal Linux reads and
optimized writes. This optimization avoids logging having too
much overhead in the system.

Provides non-wakeup and rtc backed wakeup alarms based on rtc or
