sh: reword ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER prompt and help text

The prompt and help text of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER are not even close to
describe this configuration option.

Update both to actually describe what this option does.

[rppt@kernel.org: tweak ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER's `range']

	  The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
	  blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
	  pages.  This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
	  keeps in the memory allocator.  If you need to allocate very large
	  blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
	  increase this value.
	  The kernel page allocator limits the size of maximal physically
	  contiguous allocations. The limit is called MAX_ORDER and it
	  defines the maximal power of two of number of pages that can be
	  allocated as a single contiguous block. This option allows
	  overriding the default setting when ability to allocate very
	  large blocks of physically contiguous memory is required.

	  The page size is not necessarily 4KB. Keep this in mind when
	  choosing a value for this option.

	  Don't change if unsure.
