The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and
are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. This commit therefore
removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts
to use the boot parameter instead.

POSIX timers are no longer starved on adaptive-ticks CPUs. Instead, they
prevent affected CPUs from entering adaptive-ticks mode. This commit
therefore updates the NO_HZ.txt documentation.

This commit adds information about testing nohz_full, and also emphasizes
the fact that you need a multi-CPU system to get any benefit from nohz_full.

This commit calls out the potential for slowing the tick even when there
are multiple runnable processes per CPU, It also points out that current
mainlined version keeps the tick going on at least one CPU even when all
CPUs are otherwise idle. Finally, it notes the need for a 1-HZ tick in
order to calculate CPU load, maintain sched average, compute CFS entity
vruntime, compute avenrun, and carry out load balancing.

Make it more clear that there are three options, and give hints as
to which of the three is most likely to be useful in different
situations.
