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.
