Add support for modeling a subset of weak memory, which will enable detection of a subset of data races due to missing memory barriers. KCSAN's approach to detecting missing memory barriers is based on modeling access reordering, and enabled if `CONFIG_KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY=y`, which depends on `CONFIG_KCSAN_STRICT=y`. The feature can be enabled or disabled at boot and runtime via the `kcsan.weak_memory` boot parameter. Each memory access for which a watchpoint is set up, is also selected for simulated reordering within the scope of its function (at most 1 in-flight access). We are limited to modeling the effects of "buffering" (delaying the access), since the runtime cannot "prefetch" accesses (therefore no acquire modeling). Once an access has been selected for reordering, it is checked along every other access until the end of the function scope. If an appropriate memory barrier is encountered, the access will no longer be considered for reordering. When the result of a memory operation should be ordered by a barrier, KCSAN can then detect data races where the conflict only occurs as a result of a missing barrier due to reordering accesses.
