build: Add IRQSOFF and PREEMPT TRACER kernel config option

This adds the CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER and the CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER kernel
configuration option to the OpenWrt menu. This can be used to debug
latencies in the system.
The CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER option needs the CONFIG_PREEMPT option which is
supposed to be used for Low-Latency Desktop and not used by many targets
in OpenWrt.

The help text is copied from the Linux kernel Kconfig.

This option measures the time spent in irqs-off critical
sections, with microsecond accuracy.
The default measurement method is a maximum search, which is
disabled by default and can be runtime (re-)started
via:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency
(Note that kernel size and overhead increase with this option
enabled. This option and the preempt-off timing option can be
used together or separately.)
