PKGBUILD: untuck the way generic subarch is set

Previously a really convoluted two stage 'yes' invocation
was used with that required weird formatting.

Switch to using the good old configs enabling.

 - `_makenconfig`: Invokes `make nconfig` (ncurses-based nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
 - `_makexconfig`: Invokes `make xconfig` (X11-based GUI configuration menu) before compilation starts
 - `_use_current`: Will use the configuration of the running kernel, if the running kernel is compiled with `IKCONFIG_PROC`
+- `_optimize_defconfig`: Applies package maintainer-picked configuration changes to your defconfig. Only takes effect with `_use_current` being enabled
 - `_copyfinalconfig`: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root as `kconfig-new` before compilation starts
 - `_localmodcfg`: Only compiles modules found in modprobed-db's database (which decreases compilation time and kernel size)
 - `_use_llvm_lto`: Compiles the kernel with LLVM instead of GCC. Should work, if not open an issue
 - `_subarch`: Specifies the subarchitecture to compile for (see the [PKGBUILD file](https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/aur-linux-clear/src/branch/develop/PKGBUILD) for a list of all subarches). Default is `41` (Generic x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number

 - `_debug`: Force enables debug options when set to `y`, force disables debug options when set to `n` or uses the config defaults when unset

 ## Build tool
-*If you want a dead simple way to compile this package, you can [try out my build tool](https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/jstm-optimized). It includes a few no nonsense changes to the kernel configuration and allows you to configure the PKGBUILD in a simple manner to decrease build time. If you don't want that, using `makepkg` as-is works fine too.*
