kernel-dev: Added detail to start of generating config file

Browse Source 
Fixes [YOCTO #7474]

The "Generating Configuration Files" section has a procedure that
starts with a step to complete a build at least through the
kernel configuration task.  This is needed but we could use a
bit of explanation here.  I added some rationale behind why you
should do this.
