kcsan: Clean up the main KCSAN Kconfig option
This patch cleans up the rules of the 'KCSAN' Kconfig option by: 1. implicitly selecting 'STACKTRACE' instead of depending on it; 2. depending on DEBUG_KERNEL, to avoid accidentally turning KCSAN on if the kernel is not meant to be a debug kernel; 3. updating the short and long summaries.
