arch: Move CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_SET_MODULE_RONX to be common
There are multiple architectures that support CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_SET_MODULE_RONX. These options also now have the ability to be turned off at runtime. Move these to an architecture independent location and make these options def_bool y for almost all of those arches.
