commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=58d46a4373806d6193f256b589d22f85dd45c18a
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2022.02.x

If the examples given for launching an out-of-tree build are executed
as-is, this will result in the error message

    Please configure Buildroot first (e.g. "make menuconfig")

Even if "make menuconfig" was run before, it's still not going to work
because the out-of-tree build doesn't use the in-tree .config.

Therefore, the example really should start with some config option.
Since "make menuconfig" is used in most other examples of creating a
config, use that here as well. Extend both examples with "menuconfig".
