x86/kconfig: Consolidate unwinders into multiple choice selection

There are three mutually exclusive unwinders.  Make that more obvious by
combining them into a multiple-choice selection:

  CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_UNWINDER
  CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER
  CONFIG_GUESS_UNWINDER (if CONFIG_EXPERT=y)

Frame pointers are still the default (for now).

The old CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER option is still used in some
arch-independent places, so keep it around, but make it
invisible to the user on x86 - it's now selected by
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER_UNWINDER=y.
