PATCH 1/1 fs/Kconfig: quota help text updates

This patch contains the following updates to the help texts:
- QUOTA: most people will get the quota utilities from their distribution, and if not the mini-HOWTO will tell them
- QFMT_V2: quota utilities 3.01 are no longer recent, they are now ancient
and 3.01 is lower than the minimal version documented in Documentation/Changes
