ref-manual: remove all traces of "kernel_menuconfig" task

Browse Source 
It's not clear why the non-existent "kernel_menuconfig" task was
documented in the reference manual, but it does not appear to have
ever existed so delete all references to it and replace with pointers
to rewritten "menuconfig" task.
