kcsan: Introduce CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT 

Add a simpler Kconfig variable to configure KCSAN's "strict" mode. This
makes it simpler in documentation or messages to suggest just a single
configuration option to select the strictest checking mode (vs.
currently having to list several options).

causes KCSAN to not report data races due to conflicts where the only plain
accesses are aligned writes up to word size.
To use the strictest possible rules, select ``CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y``, which
configures KCSAN to follow the Linux-kernel memory consistency model (LKMM) as
closely as possible.
