lib/Kconfig.debug: Update AS_HAS_NON_CONST_LEB128 comment and name
Fangrui noted that the comment around CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_LEB128 could be made more accurate because explicit .sleb128 directives are not emitted, only .uleb128 directives are. Rename the symbol to CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_ULEB128 as a result. Further clarifications include replacing "symbol deltas" with the more accurate "label differences", noting that this issue has been resolved in newer binutils (2.41+), and it only occurs when a port uses RISC-V style linker relaxation.
