debug: Make CONFIG_EXPERT select CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to unhide debug options
Several debugging options currently default to y, such as
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.
Embedded users might want to turn those options off to save space;
however, turning them off requires turning on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to
unhide them. Since CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL exists specifically to
unhide debugging options, and CONFIG_EXPERT exists specifically
to unhide options potentially needed by experts and/or embedded
users, make CONFIG_EXPERT automatically imply CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.
Change various debugging options to only reference DEBUG_KERNEL,
not EXPERT.
Note that DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT defaulted to !EXPERT, which seemed
wrong, since EXPERT should not directly affect anything except
the availability of other options. (And EXPERT definitely
shouldn't mean "implicitly turn off default safety features".)
Change it to default to y, which means that turning on EXPERT
does not automatically disable it, but will provide the option
to disable it.
