[config] Warn againt using ash as CONFIG_SHELL

It apears that more and more ./configure scripts and Makefiles
make use of non-POSIXly correct shell constructs, that don't
work with ash.

For now, just warn the user against using ash, but keep it as
an option in case newer versions of the /broken/ components
come fixed, and we can again use ash, as it is in some cases
really faster than bash.

    11 On sh[34]-linux, memset function does not work if 2nd argument is negative
    12 and 3rd argument is greater than 12.
    13 for example, memset(ptr, "\xda", 20) sets 0xff instead of 0xda.
    14  
    15 Attached patch fixes this problem.
