[libata] Kconfig: Elaborate that SFF is meant for legacy and PATA stuff

I followed the advice to not use the deprecated old PATA subsystem

        ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED)  --->

and use the ATA subsystem instead.

        Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers  --->

Unfortunately I needed several tries to find out, that I needed the SFF
menu I had not selected before because I had never heard that term
before. I think it would have helped me, to have PATA or legacy IDE in
that item’s name.
