dropbear: fix hardening flags during configure

compiler complains about messed up CFLAGS in build log:
  <command-line>: warning: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined
  <command-line>: note: this is the location of the previous definition

and then linker fails:
  mips-openwrt-linux-musl-gcc [...] -o dropbearmulti [...]
  collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
  compilation terminated.

This FTBFS issue was caused by hardening flags set up by dropbear's configure script.

By default, Dropbear offers hardening via CFLAGS and LDFLAGS,
but this may break or confuse OpenWrt settings.

Remove most Dropbear's hardening settings in favour of precise build,
but preserve Spectre v2 mitigations:
* -mfunction-return=thunk
* -mindirect-branch=thunk
