can: vxcan: Kconfig: fix description stating no local echo provided
The Kconfig description of the vxcan kernel module erroneously states the the vxcan interface does not provide a local echo of sent can frames. However this behavior changed in commit 259bdba ("vxcan: enable local echo for sent CAN frames") and vxcan interfaces now provide a local echo. Change the description of the vxcan module in the Kconfig to reflect this change.

This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
