docs: remove mention of ENABLE_MUST_CHECK
We removed ENABLE_MUST_CHECK in 196793946264 ("Compiler Attributes: remove CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK"), so let's remove docs' mentions. At the same time, fix the outdated text related to ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED that wasn't removed in 3337d5cfe5e08 ("configs: get rid of obsolete CONFIG_ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED"). Finally, reflow the paragraph.
