objtool: Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR
Objtool warnings can be indicative of crashes, broken live patching, or even boot failures. Ignoring them is not recommended. Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR to upgrade objtool warnings to errors by enabling the objtool --Werror option. Also set --backtrace to print the branches leading up to the warning, which can help considerably when debugging certain warnings. To avoid breaking bots too badly for now, make it the default for real world builds only (!COMPILE_TEST).
