build: add -fstack-clash-protection to hardening flags
This option causes the compiler to insert probes whenever stack space is allocated statically or dynamically to reliably detect stack overflows and thus mitigate the attack vector that relies on jumping over a stack guard page as provided by the operating system. This option is now enabled by default in Ubuntu GCC as of 19.10. Available in GCC 8 and Clang 11.

dnl When enable_debug is yes, all optimizations are disabled.
dnl However, FORTIFY_SOURCE requires that there is some level of optimization, otherwise it does nothing and just creates a compiler warning.
dnl Since FORTIFY_SOURCE is a no-op without optimizations, do not enable it when enable_debug is yes.
