nohz: Pack nohz Kconfig option in a menu of choices
Now the user has the choice between three implementations of the timer tick: * Static periodic tick * Idle dynticks * Full dynticks At least for now, these are mutually exclusive choices, so let's rely on the proper Kconfig feature to display these to the user. A new entry CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE is created and the old CONFIG_NO_HZ maps to it for config file backward compatibility. The old name was too general now that we have more granular dynticks implementations. While at it, add some explanation to help the user on his decision between the 3 entries.
