kheaders: explain why include/config/autoconf.h is excluded from md5sum

This comment block explains why include/generated/compile.h is omitted,
but nothing about include/generated/autoconf.h, which might be more
difficult to understand. Add more comments.

# When Kconfig regenerates include/generated/autoconf.h, its timestamp is
# updated, but the contents might be still the same. When any CONFIG option is
# changed, Kconfig touches the corresponding timestamp file include/config/*.h.
# Hence, the md5sum detects the configuration change anyway. We do not need to
