RISC-V: Update Kconfig to better handle CMDLINE

Added a menu to choose how the built-in command line will be
used and CMDLINE_EXTEND for compatibility with FDT code.

v2: Improved help messages, removed references to bootloader
and made them more descriptive. I also asked help from a
friend who's a language expert just in case.

v3: This time used the corrected text

v4: Copy the config strings from the arm32 port.

v5: Actually copy the config strings from the arm32 port.

-	  For most platforms, it is firmware or second stage bootloader
-	  that by default specifies the kernel command line options.
-	  However, it might be necessary or advantageous to either override
-	  the default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
-	  For such cases, this option allows hardcoding command line options
-	  directly into the kernel.
+	  For most platforms, the arguments for the kernel's command line

+	  where either no arguments are being provided or the provided
+	  arguments are insufficient or even invalid.
 
-	  For that, choose 'Y' here and fill in the extra boot parameters
-	  in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
+	  When that occurs, it is possible to define a built-in command
+	  line here and choose how the kernel should use it later on.
 
-	  The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
-	  line if CMDLINE_FORCE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
-	  command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.

-	  Set this option to 'Y' to have the kernel ignore the bootloader
-	  or firmware command line.  Instead, the built-in command line
-	  will be used exclusively.
