Subject: [PATCH v5] configs: Introduce debug.config for CI-like setup

Some general debugging features like kmemleak, KASAN, lockdep, UBSAN etc
help fix many viruses like a microscope. On the other hand, those features
are scatter around and mixed up with more situational debugging options
making them difficult to consume properly. This cold help amplify the
general debugging/testing efforts and help establish sensitive default
values for those options across the broad. This could also help different
distros to collaborate on maintaining debug-flavored kernels.

The config is based on years' experiences running daily CI inside the
largest enterprise Linux distro company to seek regressions on
linux-next builds on different bare-metal and virtual platforms. It can be
used for example,

$ make ARCH=arm64 defconfig debug.config

Since KASAN and KCSAN can't be enabled together, we will need to create a
separate one for KCSAN later as well.

v5:
- Removed CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT as an old bug had already been fixed
  and now the default is sane.
- Updated the changelog for the motivation.
- Rebased to v5.16-rc1.
