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 is directly adopted from the ARM implementation)
+ *
+ * Stack protector works by putting predefined pattern at the start of
+ * the stack frame and verifying that it hasn't been overwritten when
+ * returning from the function.  The pattern is called stack canary
+ * and gcc expects it to be defined by a global variable called
+ * "__stack_chk_guard" on MIPS.  This unfortunately means that on SMP
+ * we cannot have a different canary value per task.
