Documentation/kbuild: Add guidance for the use of default
Document the preference [1] for new CONFIG options to "default n" (or
not use default at all) in order to minimizes changes to the config,
especially to avoid "make oldconfig" growing unnecessarily from release
to release.
Document the exceptions where it is acceptable to use "default y/m" for
new CONFIG options.
