    Update WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS description
    
    We have installed kernel debug data under /usr/lib/debug/ for some time
    now, so the suggestion to set WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS for small root
    partitions is no longer valid.
    
    Also call them "debug symbol files" rather than just "symbol files",
    since they contain much more than just symbols.  The kernel also
    includes (some) symbols, regardless of the setting of this knob.
    
    MFC after:      1 week
    
    (cherry picked from commit 5f946c76c0cc2d1b4fa150f691764da163579d19)
