doc: Clean up SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
Move the useful help to Kconfig.
Drop mention of CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE since it doesn't exist.
Correct a 'CONFIGSYS_MALLOC_F_LEN' typo

- Before relocation, memory is very limited on many platforms. Still,
- we can provide a small malloc() pool if needed. Driver model in
- particular needs this to operate, so that it can allocate the
- initial serial device and any others that are needed.
+ Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
+ this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
+ will become available before relocation. The address is just
+ below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
+ space.
+
+ This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
+ within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
+ is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
+ The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
+ U-Boot relocates itself.
