kcsan: Clean up the main KCSAN Kconfig option

Browse Source 
This patch cleans up the rules of the 'KCSAN' Kconfig option by:

  1. implicitly selecting 'STACKTRACE' instead of depending on it;
  2. depending on DEBUG_KERNEL, to avoid accidentally turning KCSAN on if
     the kernel is not meant to be a debug kernel;
  3. updating the short and long summaries.

Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer is a dynamic data race detector, which
uses a watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races. See
<file:Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst> for more details.
The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic data race
detector, which relies on compile-time instrumentation, and uses a
watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect data races.
