Subject: [PATCH] Kconfig.debug: Make DEBUG_INFO always default=n

While trying to make sure CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO wasn't set for COMPILE_TEST,
I ordered the choices incorrectly to retain the prior default=n state.
Move DEBUG_INFO_NONE to the top so that the default choice is disabled,
and remove the "if COMPILE_TEST" as it is now redundant.
