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under /usr/lib/debug/ for some time now, so the suggestion to set WITHOUT_KERNEL_SYMBOLS for small root partitions is no longer valid.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
