Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/2] Better hardening names

Hi,

It's come up previously that CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA are not accurate names, mostly they should not have the
word 'debug' in them. This series attempts to change the names to something
a bit more descriptive and indicative of what they are actually used for these
days.

I marked this RFC for
- Bike shedding purposes.
- A discussion of what defaults should be. The way I did the refactoring, both
  options are default y. I'd appreciate comments if there is a better approach.
- Approach to split this up into more sub patches to make review/merging easier?
  Or maybe it's fine.

Quickly tested on arm/arm64/x86.

Thanks,
Laura
