Subject: [PATCH] Kconfig.debug: Make DEBUG_INFO selectable from a choice
Currently it's not possible to enable DEBUG_INFO for an all*config
build, since it is marked as "depends on !COMPILE_TEST". This generally
makes sense because a debug build of an all*config target ends up taking
much longer and the output is much larger. Having this be "default off"
makes sense. However, there are cases where enabling DEBUG_INFO for such
builds is useful for doing treewide A/B comparisons of build options,
etc.
Make DEBUG_INFO selectable from any of the DWARF version choice options,
with DEBUG_INFO_NONE being the default for COMPILE_TEST. The mutually
exclusive relationship between DWARF5 and BTF must be inverted, but the
result remains the same. Additionally moves DEBUG_KERNEL and DEBUG_MISC
up to the top of the menu because was enabling features _above_ it,
making it weird to navigate menuconfig.
