Config.in: update description of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB 



With time BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB option meaning changed from "prefer static
libs when possible" to "do not build dynamic libs and build statically linked
applications".

This patch changes the option description.

Note that variable name is kept unchanged on purpose - it will be modified later
when real "prefer static" mode will be introduced.

	help

	  Where possible, build and use static libraries for the target.

	  This potentially increases your code size and should only be

	  Build all applications for the target statically linked.

	  This potentially increases your filesystem size and should only be

	  used if you know what you do.

	  The default is to build dynamic libraries and use those on

	  the target filesystem.



	  WARNING: This is highly experimental at the moment.

	  Note that some applications cannot be build statically and so are

	  intentionally disabled.



	  The default (if this option is disabled) is to build dynamic

	  libraries and dynamically link applications to use those on the

	  target filesystem.
