staging: android: Add some Kconfig help entries

This commit adds Kconfig entries for the following:

	1: ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
	2: ASHMEM (additional text)
	3: ANDROID_LOGGER

It also changes "Register" to "Registers" in
ANDROID_LOW_MEMORY_KILLER

Finally, all "help" instances are changed to "---help---",
as recommended by kconfig-language.txt in order to visually
aid developers.

Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,

between said processes.

It is, in theory, a good memory allocator for low-memory devices,
because it can discard shared memory units when under memory pressure.

This adds support for system-wide logging using four log buffers.
These are:
1: main
2: events
3: radio
4: system
Log reading and writing is performed via normal Linux reads and
optimized writes. This optimization avoids logging having too
much overhead in the system.
