kconfig.h: explain IS_MODULE(), IS_ENABLED()

Browse source 
Extend IS_MODULE() and IS_ENABLED comments to explain why one might use
"#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FOO)" instead of "#ifdef CONFIG_FOO".

To wit, "#ifdef CONFIG_FOO" is true only for CONFIG_FOO=y, while
"#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FOO)" is true for both CONFIG_FOO=y and
CONFIG_FOO=m.

This is because "CONFIG_FOO=m" in .config does not result in "CONFIG_FOO"
being defined.  The actual definitions are in autoconf.h, where:

  CONFIG_FOO=y   results in   #define CONFIG_FOO 1
  CONFIG_FOO=m   results in   #define CONFIG_FOO_MODULE 1
