[PATCH v2 11/21] stack-protector: test compiler capability in Kconfig and drop AUTO mode

[Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>]

Move the test for -fstack-protector(-strong) option to Kconfig.

If the compiler does not support the option, the corresponding menu
is automatically hidden.  If _STRONG is not supported, it will fall
back to _REGULAR.  If _REGULAR is not supported, it will be disabled.
This means, _AUTO is implicitly handled by the dependency solver of
Kconfig, hence removed.

I also turned the 'choice' into only two boolean symbols.  The use of
'choice' is not a good idea here, because all of all{yes,mod,no}config
would choose the first visible value, while we want allnoconfig to
disable as many features as possible.

X86 has additional shell scripts in case the compiler supports the
option, but generates broken code.  I added CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR
to test this.  I had to add -m32 to gcc-x86_32-has-stack-protector.sh
to make it work correctly.

Changes in v2:
  - Describe $(cc-option ...) directly in depends on context
