The LSM (Linux security mechanism) list is the successor of the now
legacy *major LSM*. Instead of defining a single security mechanism the
LSM symbol is a comma separated list of mechanisms to load.
Until recently OpenWrt would only support DAC (Unix discretionary access
controls) which don't require an additional entry in the LSM list. With
the newly introduced SELinux support the LSM needs to be extended else
only a manual modified Kernel cmdline (`security=selinux`) would
activate SELinux.
As the default OpenWrt Kernel config sets DAC as default security
mechanism, SELinux is stripped from the LSM list, even if
`KERNEL_DEFAULT_SECURITY_SELINUX` is activated. To allow SELinux without
a modified cmdline this commit sets a specific LSM list if
`KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX` is enabled.
The upstream Kconfig adds even more mechanisms
(smack,selinux,tomoyo,apparmor), but until they're ported to OpenWrt,
these can be ignored.
To compile SELinux Kernel support but disable it from loading, the
already present options `KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE` or
`KERNEL_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM` (with custom cmdline `selinux=0`)
can be used. Further it's possible to edit `/etc/selinux/config`.

This adds a number of options to config/Config-kernel.in so that
packages related to SELinux support can enable the appropriate Linux
kernel support.

The symbol KERNEL_CGROUP_HUGETLB is always used whenever KERNEL_CGROUPS is enabled.
The absence of this notation will cause the user to be asked to enter this parameter the first time it is compiled.

Enabling KERNEL_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE exposes 2 missing symbols:
* CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS
* TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS
* TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE
The first one was added in 5.4, and is marked experimental there so just
disable it in the generic config.
For the latter two, we should not force the user to use either of them,
so add them as build-configurable kernel options.

It was removed from target defaults though it didn't exist in the
build-systems kernel configuration options. Add it there.

Don't explicitely disable options in target/linux/generic/config-* if
they are already controlled in config/Config-kernel.in.
Add a bunch of new symbols and prepare defaults for using only unified
hierarchy (ie. cgroup2). Update symbol dependencies while at it
