Message:

lm_sensors: Modernize, and use new rendering for kernel configuration

I believe the book documented how to configure the sensors in 1990s.
Let's document some modern thing instead.

    103       Getting your kernel config right is an iterative process that may require
    104       that you recompile your kernel a couple of times. The simplest way to go
    105       about it is to start by enabling modules and then compile everything that
    106       may be needed by Lm Sensors as a module:

    124       Recompile your kernel and reboot into the new kernel. Don't forget to

     103      The following configuration options attempt to cover the most common
     104      hardware monitoring devices in a typical desktop or laptop system.
     105      View the help of each (by pressing the <keycap>H</keycap> button
     106      with the option focused in the <command>make menuconfig</command>)
     107      to know if you need it.  There are many platform-specific hardware
     108      monitoring devices so it's impossible to list the configuration for
     109      all of them here.  You may investigate the content of
     110      <filename class='directory'>/sys/class/hwmon</filename> within a
     111      <quote>mainstream</quote> distro running on the system to know which
     112      drivers you need.
