PATCH 1/1 toolchain/crosstool-ng: be more explicit in the config file help

Some users seem to interpret:
make ctng-menuconfig

as being a value that can be fit for the ct-ng config file.

Clarify that it is a command to run, not a possible value.

I would insist a bit more here, something along the lines of:

"Generally, the default crosstool-NG configuration files bundled with Buildroot work fine in most situations. Use 'make ctng-menuconfig' only for expert customization of your toolchain".
