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.

KCSAN is supported by both GCC and Clang. With GCC we require version 11 or
later, and with Clang also require version 11 or later.
