kconfig: Print reverse dependencies in groups

Browse Source 
Surprisingly or not, disabling a CONFIG option (which is assumed to
be unneeded) may be not so trivial. Especially it is not trivial, when
this CONFIG option is selected by a dozen of other configs. Before the
moment commit 1ccb271433 ("kconfig: make "Selected by:" and
"Implied by:" readable") popped up in v4.16-rc1, it was an absolute pain
to break down the "Selected by" reverse dependency expression in order
to identify all those configs which select (IOW *do not allow
disabling*) a certain feature (assumed to be not needed).

This patch tries to make one step further by putting at users'
fingertips the revdep top level OR sub-expressions grouped/clustered by
the tristate value they evaluate to. This should allow the users to
directly concentrate on and tackle the _active_ reverse dependencies.

To give some numbers and quantify the complexity of certain reverse
dependencies, assuming commit 617aebe6a9 ("Merge tag
'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"), ARCH=arm64
and vanilla arm64 defconfig, here is the top 10 CONFIG options with
the highest amount of top level "||" sub-expressions/tokens that make
up the final "Selected by" reverse dependency expression.

| Config            | All revdep | Active revdep |
|-------------------|------------|---------------|
| REGMAP_I2C        | 212        | 9             |
| CRC32             | 167        | 25            |
| FW_LOADER         | 128        | 5             |
| MFD_CORE          | 124        | 9             |
| FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT  | 114        | 2             |
| FB_CFB_COPYAREA   | 111        | 2             |
| FB_CFB_FILLRECT   | 110        | 2             |
| SND_PCM           | 103        | 2             |
| CRYPTO_HASH       | 87         | 19            |
| WATCHDOG_CORE     | 86         | 6             |

The story behind the above is that users need to visually
review/evaluate 212 expressions which *potentially* select REGMAP_I2C
in order to identify the expressions which *actually* select REGMAP_I2C,
for a particular ARCH and for a particular defconfig used.

To make this experience smoother, change the way reverse dependencies
are displayed to the user from [1] to [2].
