[PATCH 01/12] Configury support for --enable-stack-protector.

[Nix <nix at esperi dot org dot uk>]

From: Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com>

This adds =all and =strong, with obvious semantics, and with a rather
arbitrarily-chosen default off, which we might well want to change to
something stronger once this patch has been tested by people other than
me.

We don't validate the value of the option yet: that's in a later patch.
Nor do we use it for anything at this stage.

We differentiate between 'the compiler understands -fstack-protector'
and 'the user wanted -fstack-protector' so that we can pass
-fno-stack-protector in appropriate places even if the user didn't want
to turn on -fstack-protector for other parts.  (This helps us overcome
another existing limitation, that glibc doesn't work with GCC's hacked
to pass in -fstack-protector by default.)

We might want to add another configuration option to turn on
-fstack-protector for nscd and other network-facing operations by
default, but for now I've stuck with one option to control everything.
