kbuild: doc: remove description about grepping CONFIG options
This description was added 20 years ago [1]. It does not convey any useful information except for a feeling of nostalgia.

External modules have traditionally used "grep" to check for
526-
specific `CONFIG_` settings directly in .config. This usage is
527-
broken. As introduced before, external modules should use
528-
kbuild for building and can therefore use the same methods as
529-
in-tree modules when testing for `CONFIG_` definitions.
