Log Message:
Fix MKDEBUGKERNEL vs MKDEBUG for kernel debug file sets.

The problem manifests as checkflist failures when building ports that
have extensive ALL_KERNELS but not...building all the kernels; notably
the various "evb" ports with a bazillion kernels for a bazillion SoCs.

The mk.conf(5) man page documents MKDEBUGKERNEL as controlling
whether kernel debug files (netbsd-*.debug) appear in the
distribution sets.  However, the prior implementation used MKDEBUG
(the general userland debug flag) instead.

This meant MKDEBUG=yes with MKDEBUGKERNEL=no incorrectly expected
kernel debug files for every kernel config listed in ALL_KERNELS.
When only a subset of kernels is built, checkflist fails with
missing files.

The fix is to make these variables fully conform to the longstanding
documentation.  MKDEBUGKERNEL controls whether kernel debug symbols are
built; MKDEBUG controls everything else.  If you want something like the
old behavior but minus the bugs, set both.
