manual/user guide: move tip on configuration searches 



This patch moves the tip on searching in the configuration editors into the
section 'Buildroot configuration', which is more logical.

The wording of that section is slightly adapted to fit this new part.

== Buildroot configuration



All the configuration options in +make *config+ have a help text

providing details about the option. However, a number of topics

require additional details that cannot easily be covered in the help

text and are there covered in the following sections.

providing details about the option.



The +make *config+ commands also offer a search tool. Read the help

message in the different frontend menus to know how to use it:



* in _menuconfig_, the search tool is called by pressing +/+;

* in _xconfig_, the search tool is called by pressing +Ctrl+ + +f+.



The result of the search shows the help message of the matching items.

In _menuconfig_, numbers in the left column provide a shortcut to the

corresponding entry. Just type this number to directly jump to the

entry, or to the containing menu in case the entry is not selectable due

to a missing dependency.



Although the menu structure and the help text of the entries should be

sufficiently self-explanatory, a number of topics require additional

explanation that cannot easily be covered in the help text and are

therefore covered in the following sections.
