build: add hardened builds with PIE (ASLR) support

Browse Source 
Introduce a configuration option to build a "hardened" OpenWrt with
ASLR PIE support.

Add new option PKG_ASLR_PIE to enable Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR)
by building Position Independent Executables (PIE). This new option protects
against "return-to-text" attacks.

Busybox need a special care, link is done with ld, not gcc, leading to
unknown flags. Set BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_PIE instead and disable PKG_ASLR_PIE.

If other failing packages were found, PKG_ASLR_PIE:=0 should be added to
their Makefiles.

Add -fPIC to CFLAGS and -specs=hardened-build-ld to LDFLAGS.
This enables package build as Position Independent Executables (PIE)
to protect against "return-to-text" attacks. This belongs to the
feature of Address Space Layout Randomisation (ASLR), which is
implemented by the kernel and the ELF loader by randomising the
location of memory allocations. This makes memory addresses harder
to predict when an attacker is attempting a memory-corruption exploit.
You can disable this per package by adding PKG_ASLR_PIE:=0 in the package
Makefile.
