docs: remove mention of ENABLE_MUST_CHECK

Browse source 
We removed ENABLE_MUST_CHECK in 1967939462 ("Compiler Attributes:
remove CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK"), so let's remove docs' mentions.

At the same time, fix the outdated text related to
ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED that wasn't removed in 3337d5cfe5
("configs: get rid of obsolete CONFIG_ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED").

Finally, reflow the paragraph.

of these options should be turned on for any kernel used for development or
testing purposes. In particular, you should turn on:
- ENABLE_MUST_CHECK and FRAME_WARN to get an
extra set of warnings for problems like the use of deprecated interfaces
or ignoring an important return value from a function. The output
generated by these warnings can be verbose, but one need not worry about
- FRAME_WARN to get warnings for stack frames larger than a given amount.
The output generated can be verbose, but one need not worry about
warnings from other parts of the kernel.
- DEBUG_OBJECTS will add code to track the lifetime of various objects
