Qian Cai 8208257d2d configs/debug: restore DEBUG_INFO=y for overriding
Previously, I failed to realize that Kees' patch [1] has not been merged
into the mainline yet, and dropped DEBUG_INFO=y too eagerly from the
mainline.  As the results, "make debug.config" won't be able to flip
DEBUG_INFO=n from the existing .config.  This should close the gaps of a
few weeks before Kees' patch is there, and work regardless of their
merging status anyway.

Qian Cai d1eff16d72 configs/debug: set CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y properly
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO can't be set by user directly, so set
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT=y instead.

Otherwise, we end up with no debuginfo in vmlinux which is a big no-no
for kernel debugging.

Qian Cai 0aaa8977ac configs: introduce debug.config for CI-like setup
Some general debugging features like kmemleak, KASAN, lockdep, UBSAN etc
help fix many viruses like a microscope.  On the other hand, those
features are scatter around and mixed up with more situational debugging
options making them difficult to consume properly.  This cold help
amplify the general debugging/testing efforts and help establish
sensitive default values for those options across the broad.  This could
also help different distros to collaborate on maintaining debug-flavored
kernels.

The config is based on years' experiences running daily CI inside the
largest enterprise Linux distro company to seek regressions on
linux-next builds on different bare-metal and virtual platforms.  It can
be used for example,

  $ make ARCH=arm64 defconfig debug.config

Since KASAN and KCSAN can't be enabled together, we will need to create
a separate one for KCSAN later as well.
