[PATCH v2] arch: enable HAS_LTO_CLANG with KASAN and KCOV

[Jakob Koschel]

Both KASAN and KCOV had issues with LTO_CLANG if DEBUG_INFO is enabled.
With LTO inlinable function calls are required to have debug info if
they are inlined into a function that has debug info.

Starting with LLVM 17 this will be fixed ([1],[2]) and enabling LTO with
KASAN/KCOV and DEBUG_INFO doesn't cause linker errors anymore.
