raid: make RAID autodetect default a KConfig option

RAID autodetect has the side effect of requiring synchronisation
of all device drivers, which can make the boot several seconds longer
(I've measured 7 on one of my laptops).... even for systems that don't
have RAID setup for the root filesystem (the only FS where this matters).

This patch makes the default for autodetect a config option; either way
the user can always override via the kernel command line.

---help---
If you say Y here, then the kernel will try to autodetect raid
arrays as part of its boot process.
If you don't use raid and say Y, this autodetection can cause
a several-second delay in the boot time due to various
synchronisation steps that are part of this step.
If unsure, say Y.
