kasan: docs: clean up sections

Update KASAN documentation:

 - Give some sections clearer names.

 - Remove unneeded subsections in the "Tests" section.

 - Move the "For developers" section and split into subsections.

 There are a few ways to run KUnit-compatible KASAN tests.
 
 1. Loadable module
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 With ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` enabled, ``CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST`` can be built as
 a loadable module and run on any architecture that supports KASAN by loading
 the module with insmod or modprobe. The module is called ``test_kasan``.
 
 2. Built-In
-~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 With ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` built-in, ``CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST`` can be built-in
 on any architecure that supports KASAN. These and any other KUnit tests enabled
 will run and print the results at boot as a late-init call.
 
 3. Using kunit_tool

 With ``CONFIG_KUNIT`` and ``CONFIG_KASAN_KUNIT_TEST`` built-in, it's also
 possible use ``kunit_tool`` to see the results of these and other KUnit tests
