kconfig: Document 'if' flattening logic

Browse Source 
It is not obvious that this might refer to an 'if', making the code
pretty cryptic:

	if (menu->list && (!menu->prompt || !menu->prompt->text)) {

Kconfig keeps the 'if' menu nodes even after flattening. Reflect that in
the example to be accurate.

No functional changes. Only comments added.

* This code serves two purposes:
*
* (1) Flattening 'if' blocks, which do not specify a submenu
* and only add dependencies.
*
* (Automatic submenu creation might still create a submenu
* from an 'if' before this code runs.)
*
* (2) "Undoing" any automatic submenus created earlier below
* promptless symbols.
*
* Before:
*
* A
* if ... (or promptless symbol)
* +-B
* +-C
* D
*
* After:
*
* A
* if ... (or promptless symbol)
* B
* C
* D
