build: config: allow bool to select a module pkg
kconfig-v5.6 disallowed a bool symbol to select another symbol that 'depends on m' (i.e. can be only 'm' on 'n'). It is, in fact, an unmet dependency to have set to 'y'. However, openwrt depends on the previous behavior, to be able to build a package that can be a module or built-in depending on a bool config. This restores the previous behavior.
