build: scripts/config - update to kconfig-v5.6
Major changes include:
- Much more readable reverse dependencies separated in groups
- Improved recursive dependency report
- More readable .config files: add comments to signal end of menus
- More warnings for incorrect Config.in entries, such as a 'choice'
default not contained in the 'choice'
- Hability to properly display pseudographics with non-latin locales
- Recursive dependencies are now treated as errors - this should make
it harder for them to creep in.
