hwmon: (jc42) more helpful documentation

Browse Source 
The documentation lists standard numbers and chip names in excruciating
detail, but that's all it does.  To help mere mortals in deciding
whether to enable this driver, mention what this sensor is for and in
which systems it might be found.

Also add a link to the actual JC 42.4 specification.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for JEDEC JC 42.4 compliant temperature sensors.
This driver implements support for JEDEC JC 42.4 compliant temperature sensors,
which are used on many DDR3 memory modules for mobile devices and servers. Some
systems use the sensor to prevent memory overheating by automatically throttling
the memory controller.
The driver auto-detects the chips listed above, but can be manually instantiated
to support other JC 42.4 compliant chips.

If you say yes here you get support for Jedec JC42.4 compliant
temperature sensors. Support will include, but not be limited to,
ADT7408, CAT34TS02,, CAT6095, MAX6604, MCP9805, MCP98242, MCP98243,
MCP9843, SE97, SE98, STTS424, TSE2002B3, and TS3000B3.

This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called jc42.
