[PATCH 1/2] powerpc: initial stack protector (-fstack-protector) support

Partialy copied from commit c743f38013aef ("ARM: initial stack protector
(-fstack-protector) support")

This is the very basic stuff without the changing canary upon
task switch yet.  Just the Kconfig option and a constant canary
value initialized at boot time.

This patch was tentatively added in the past (commit 6533b7c16ee5
("powerpc: Initial stack protector (-fstack-protector) support"))
but had to be reverted (commit f2574030b0e3 ("powerpc: Revert the
initial stack protector support") because GCC implementing it
differently whether it had been built with libc support or not.

Now, GCC offers the possibility to manually set the
stack-protector mode (global or tls) regardless of libc support.

This time, the patch selects HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR only if
-mstack-protector-guard=global is supported by GCC.
