Documentation/getting_started/kconfig.md: Add a note about Kconfig defaults
When the declaration is done after the default, menuconfig will see that
symbol defined at the first place where kconfig tool will find it.
For example, if we run menuconfig and search for 'MAINBOARD_VENDOR', we
will see it defined at ""src/mainboard/51nb/Kconfig" which is odd.
