lib/Kconfig.debug: Set the minimum required pahole version to v1.22
Subsequent patches in the series change vmlinux linking scripts to unconditionally pass --btf_encode_detached to pahole, which was introduced in v1.22 [1][2]. This change allows to remove PAHOLE_HAS_SPLIT_BTF Kconfig option and other checks of older pahole versions.
