Subject[PATCH v8 1/2] Kbuild: make DWARF version a choice
From
Modifies CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 to be a member of a choice which is
the default. Does so in a way that's forward compatible with existing
configs, and makes adding future versions more straightforward.

GCC since ~4.8 has defaulted to this DWARF version implicitly.
