MIPS: initial stack protector support

Implements basic stack protector support based on ARM version in
c743f38013aeff58ef6252601e397b5ba281c633 , with Kconfig option,
constant canary value set at boot time, and script to check if
compiler actually supports stack protector.

Tested by creating a kernel module that writes past end of char[].

+         This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
+         feature puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value on
+         the stack just before the return address, and validates
+         the value just before actually returning.  Stack based buffer
+         overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
+         overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
+         neutralized via a kernel panic.
+
+         This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above.
