linux: add BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_PAHOLE

CONFIG_DEBUG_BTF_INFO relies on pahole, so kernel DWARF are converted to BTF.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_BTF_INFO is set and BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_PAHOLE not,
an error message is shown and .config is not written.

help
Some Linux kernel configuration options (such as
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF) require building a host program
called pahole. Enabling this option will ensure host-pahole
gets built before the Linux kernel.
Enable this option if you get a Linux kernel build failure
such as "BTF: .tmp_vmlinux.btf: pahole (pahole) is not
available".
