nohz: Unhide full dynticks feature from its dependencies

The full dynticks feature only shows up when all its
Kconfig dependencies are met (RCU nocbs, RCU user mode, ...)

This is far from being user friendly as those who want to
activate this feature need to look into the Kconfig files
and iterate through each dependency then activate these
by hand in order to show and select the full dynticks
Kconfig option.

So process the other way around: show up the Kconfig option
if the minimal low level dependencies are met and activate
the high level ones when we enable the feature.

Note there is one exception in the picture:
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is part of a Kconfig choice
menu and it appears we can't select it from another Kconfig
selection when it's under such layout. So for now this
particular item stays as a passive dependency.

Adaptively try to shutdown the tick whenever possible, even when
the CPU is running tasks. Typically this requires running a single
task on the CPU. Chances for running tickless are maximized when
the task mostly runs in userspace and has few kernel activity.
