[PATCH] HWMON: Improve the help text for CONFIG_HWMON

Improve the help text for CONFIG_HWMON to let the users know how they
pick the right hardware monitoring driver(s) for their system.

Also fix a couple typos in the related documentation file and improve
some parts a bit.

 General hints to get things working:
 
 0) get lm-sensors userspace utils
-1) compile all drivers in I2C section as modules in your kernel
+1) compile all drivers in I2C and Hardware Monitoring sections as modules

 2) run sensors-detect script, it will tell you what modules you need to load.
 3) load them and run "sensors" command, you should see some results.
 4) fix sensors.conf, labels, limits, fan divisors
 5) if any more problems consult FAQ, or documentation

          will be called hwmon.
