docs: changes: better document Python needs
Python is listed as an optional dependency, but this is not true, as: 1) arm (multi_v7_defconfig and other defconfigs) and arm64 defconfig needs it due to DRM_MSM dependencies; 2) CONFIG_LTO_CLANG runs a python script at scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o; 3) kernel-doc is called during compilation when some DRM options like CONFIG_DRM_I915_WERROR are enabled; 4) allyesconfig/allmodconfig will enable CONFIG_* dependencies that needs it; 5) besides DRM, other subsystems seem to have logic calling *.py scripts. So, better document that and change the dependency from optional to mandatory to reflect the current needs.
