kasan: allow enabling KASAN_VMALLOC and SW/HW_TAGS 

Allow enabling CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC with SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS KASAN modes.

Also adjust CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC description:

 - Mention HW_TAGS support.

 - Remove unneeded internal details: they have no place in Kconfig
   description and are already explained in the documentation.

help
By default, the shadow region for vmalloc space is the read-only
zero page. This means that KASAN cannot detect errors involving
vmalloc space.
This mode makes KASAN check accesses to vmalloc allocations for
validity.
Enabling this option will hook in to vmap/vmalloc and back those
mappings with real shadow memory allocated on demand. This allows
for KASAN to detect more sorts of errors (and to support vmapped
stacks), but at the cost of higher memory usage.
With software KASAN modes, checking is done for all types of vmalloc
allocations. Enabling this option leads to higher memory usage.
With hardware tag-based KASAN, only VM_ALLOC mappings are checked.
There is no additional memory usage.
