Kconfig.debug: make DEBUG_INFO selectable from a choice

Currently it's not possible to enable DEBUG_INFO for an all*config
build, since it is marked as "depends on !COMPILE_TEST".

This generally makes sense because a debug build of an all*config target
ends up taking much longer and the output is much larger. Having this
be "default off" makes sense.

However, there are cases where enabling DEBUG_INFO for such builds is
useful for doing treewide A/B comparisons of build options, etc.

Make DEBUG_INFO selectable from any of the DWARF version choice options,
with DEBUG_INFO_NONE being the default for COMPILE_TEST.

The mutually exclusive relationship between DWARF5 and BTF must be
inverted, but the result remains the same. Additionally moves
DEBUG_KERNEL and DEBUG_MISC up to the top of the menu because they were
enabling features _above_ it, making it weird to navigate menuconfig.
