This patch completes missing help text for some options under CONFIG_DEVEL.

Provides help for BINARY_FOLDER and DOWNLOAD_FOLDER, and reduces ambiguity in
the help for BUILD_SUFFIX with an example.

Signed-off-by: Andrew McDonnell <b...@andrewmcdonnell.net>

Patch resend; this time with tab characters fixed and a component (toolchain) 
specified.
Note, this should will also apply on Barrier Breaker.
