I think this is bad change. CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is describing what it
does, CONFIG_HARDENED_PAGE_MAPPINGS is advertising.

We don't do advertising, and we don't force people to re-answer the
config questions without good reason.

CONFIG_HARDENED_RODATA might fix the first problem, but not the second
one.
