Subject: xen: move CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO out of EXPERT section

In order to support hypervisor analysis of crash dumps, xen-syms needs
to contain debug_info. It should be allowed to configure the hypervisor
to be built with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO in non-debug builds without having
to enable EXPERT.

Using a rather oldish gcc (7.5) it was verified that code generation
doesn't really differ between CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO on or off without
CONFIG_DEBUG being set (only observed differences were slightly
different symbol addresses, verified via "objdump -d", resulting from
the different config.gz in the binary). The old gcc version selection
was based on the assumption, that newer gcc won't regress in this
regard.

So move CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO out of the section guarded by EXPERT.

It should be mentioned that there have been reports that the linking
of the xen.efi might take considerably longer with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
selected when using newer binutils.
