kconfig: sort found symbols by relevance When searching for symbols, return the symbols sorted by relevance. Sorting is done as thus: - first, symbols that match exactly - then, alphabetical sort Since the search can be a regexp, it is possible that more than one symbol matches exactly. In this case, we can't decide which to sort first, so we fallback to alphabeticall sort. Explain this (new!) sorting heuristic in the documentation.
