Subject: [PATCH] config: also parse softdeps from modules

This information can be found in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.softdep, and
has only recently been exported by the kernel.

Also remove the advice about copying modules.softdep to /lib/modules as it is
not clear how to do this correctly with several kernels installed with
potentially conflicting soft dependencies.
