kcsan: Re-add GCC as a supported compiler
GCC version 11 recently implemented all requirements to correctly
support KCSAN:
1. Correct no_sanitize-attribute inlining behaviour:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=4089df8ef4a63126b0774c39b6638845244c20d2
2. --param=tsan-distinguish-volatile
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=ab2789ec507a94f1a75a6534bca51c7b39037ce0
3. --param=tsan-instrument-func-entry-exit
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=06712fc68dc9843d9af7c7ac10047f49d305ad76
Therefore, we can re-enable GCC for KCSAN, and document the new compiler
requirements.
