Over time, the use of the flag changed from initially marking three
automatically generated symbols ARCH, KERNELRELEASE and UNAME_RELEASE
to protecting symbols from being written out, today.

Currently, only symbols of type CHOICE and those with option
defconf_list set have that flag set so that they are not written out.

Document the current effect of that flag.
