time: Move CONTEXT_TRACKING to kernel/time/Kconfig 

Both CONTEXT_TRACKING and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE are currently defined
in kernel/rcu/kconfig, which might have made sense at some point, but
no longer does given that RCU refers to neither of these Kconfig options.

Therefore move them to kernel/time/Kconfig, where the rest of the
NO_HZ_FULL Kconfig options live.

The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
dynticks working.
This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full
dynticks subsystem by forcing the context tracking on all
CPUs in the system.
Say Y only if you're working on the development of an
architecture backend for the context tracking.
Say N otherwise, this option brings an overhead that you
don't want in production.
