This patchset implements a new fortification level, _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3.
This level allows size information to be dynamic, which may potentially
have a noticeable performance impact.  It uses the
__builtin_dynamic_object_size builtin available in clang to expand
coverage of fortifications at the expense of some performance.

Patch 1/2 implements the base support and support for functions that
have builtins of string functions.  Additionally, the patch also
describes the use case and tradeoffs.

Patch 2/2 adds support for non-string functions that are
fortification-ready for levels 1 and 2.

Testing:

The glibc testsuite doesn't directly support clang at the moment, so
having tests in the glibc source tree is pointless as long as gcc does
not have support for __builtin_dynamic_object_size.  There is a separate
project on GitHub called fortify-test-suite[1] that houses fortification
tests and is capable of testing multiple levels of fortification with
multiple compilers.  I have proposed a PR[2] to add support for
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 and have verified my changes with those tests.

Those tests run clean for clang when run with these changes and PR[2]
and they fail at level 3 for gcc, as expected.

Changes from previous series:

- Updated the _FORTIFY_SOURCE macro soup to warn on invalid values to
  _FORTIFY_SOURCE with an indication of what level was chosen.
