kheaders: explain why include/config/autoconf.h is excluded from md5sum

commit f276031b4e2f4c961ed6d8a42f0f0124ccac2e09 upstream.

This comment block explains why include/generated/compile.h is omitted,
but nothing about include/generated/autoconf.h, which might be more
difficult to understand. Add more comments.
