ubsan: remove CONFIG_UBSAN_OBJECT_SIZE
The object-size sanitizer is redundant to -Warray-bounds, and inappropriately performs its checks at run-time when all information needed for the evaluation is available at compile-time, making it quite difficult to use: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214861 With -Warray-bounds almost enabled globally, it doesn't make sense to keep this around.
