kconfig: Improve 'General setup' menu docs.

- Add documentation for COMPILER_GCC, and COMPILER_LLVM_CLANG.

 - SCANBUILD_ENABLE, CCACHE: Amend documentation.

 - SCANBUILD_REPORT_LOCATION: Document default dir, names of scan-build dirs.

 - INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE: Add more verbose docs, show how to use it.

 - Fix typos/cosmetics/indentation, improve wording on some items.
