Stack protection is a feature to detect and handle stack buffer
overflows at runtime.
For this to work the compiler and libc have to collaborate.

This patch adds the following parts to nolibc that are required by the
compiler:

* __stack_chk_guard: random sentinel value
* __stack_chk_fail: handler for detected stack smashes

In addition an initialization function is added that randomizes the
sentinel value.

Only support for global guards is implemented.
Register guards are useful in multi-threaded context which nolibc does
not provide support for.
