arch: consolidate CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug
Let all the archs that implement devmem_is_allowed() opt-in to a common definition of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVM in lib/Kconfig.debug.

- If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
- of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
- access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
- be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
- enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
- use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

- If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
- userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
- This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
- /dev/mem.
