kheaders: explain why include/config/autoconf.h is excluded from md5sum 



This comment block explains why include/generated/compile.h is omitted,
but nothing about include/generated/autoconf.h, which might be more
difficult to understand. Add more comments.

# include/generated/compile.h is ignored because it is touched even when none

# When Kconfig regenerates include/generated/autoconf.h, its timestamp is

# updated, but the contents might be still the same. When any CONFIG option is

# changed, Kconfig touches the corresponding timestamp file include/config/*.h.

# Hence, the md5sum detects the configuration change anyway. We do not need to

# check include/generated/autoconf.h explicitly.
