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.
