Subject: [PATCH 2/4] localmodconfig: Fix parsing of "help" text

Help text may start with "help" or "---help---". This patch fixes
read_kconfig() to recognize the second variant.

This removes useless junk from %depends and %selects. That junk is due to
help text that contains the words "selects" and "depends".
