kernel-dev: Fix the locations of .config and source directory

The locations of the kernel .config file and source direcotry
moved a couple releases ago.  Updated the documentation
accordingly.

Also added a note explaining how to check the expansion of
variables, which servs a couple of purposes:

 * For curious readers, shows them how to understand where
   these variables come from and how they are used.

 * For suspicious readers, shows them how they can verify that
   the variables in the documentation are actually correct.
