libc/glibc: add fortify option

By default, recent versions of glibc and eglibc will build some
functions that take format strings (eg. printf, syslog...) with
run-time checks against some format string attacks. This is
called a fortified build.

Unfortunately, this fails somehow while building the instrumented
version of syslog, with some kind of circular dependency...

Disable fortified builds by default, and hide the enabling option
behind EXPERIMENTAL for daring users...

If you say 'y' here, then glibc will be using fortified versions
of functions with format arguments (eg. vsyslog, printf...), and
do a sanity check on the format at runtime, to avoid some of the
common format string attacks.
This is currently not supported, and will most probably result in
a broken build, with an error message like:
../misc/syslog.c: In function '__vsyslog_chk':
../misc/syslog.c:123: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in
call to 'syslog': function body not available
If you are brave enough and want to debug the issue, then say 'y'
here. Otherwise, be still and say 'n' (the default). ;-)
