Wdyt about `set_difference()`?
Or maybe adding a verb: `get_set_diff()`, `compute_set_diff()`?

But we do want to make it clear it has set (asymmetric) difference
semantics, see below.

differing_options() does not have the right semantics.
For this, we do explicitly want a set difference.

Context: This is the func used to print out these warnings:
$ .../kunit.py run --kconfig_add=CONFIG_PCI=y
...
Missing: CONFIG_PCI=y

That comes from
  invalid = self._kconfig.set_diff(validated_kconfig)
Using differing_options() to get our version of the configs:
  invalid = (want for want, got in
self._kconfig.differing_options(validated_kconfig))
we instead get an empty list.

The problem is that differing_options() only shows config options that
are explicitly to different values.

There's probably a way I can name these functions better to make the
difference more clear.
Or perhaps we should move set_diff() out of this class and have
kunit_kernel.py itself due the computation.

E.g.
  // make as_entries() "public", s/invalid/missing
  missing = set(self._kconfig.as_entries()) - set(validated_config.as_entries())

Thoughts?
