As Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt notes, 'select' should be
used with care - it forces a lower limit of another symbol, ignoring
the dependency.  In this case, KCOV can select GCC_PLUGINS even if
'depends on HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS' is unmet.

'imply' is modest enough to observe the dependency, and this makes
sense.  If you enable KCOV, you will probably want to enable
GCC_PLUGIN_SANCOV, but it should not break the dependency.

I also remove unneeded code, I just happened to notice.

  - Drop depends on GCC_VERSION

Actually, I think this can be improved, as KCOV should depend on either:

-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc support (in gcc 6+, see scripts/Makefile.kcov)

or

GCC_PLUGIN_SANCOV (which provides the trace-pc support via the plugin
for gcc before 6)

Similarly, this depends on -fsanitize-coverage=trace-cmp
