Add a build knob for _FORTIFY_SOURCE

In the future, we will Default to _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 if SSP is enabled,
otherwise default to _FORTIFY_SOURCE=0. For now we default it to 0
unconditionally to ease bisect across older versions without the new
symbols, and we'll put out a call for testing.

include/*.h include their ssp/*.h equivalents as needed based on the
knob. Programs and users are allowed to override FORTIFY_SOURCE in their
Makefiles or src.conf/make.conf to force it off.

Update WITH_/WITHOUT_SSP descriptions

ProPolice refers to a specific implementation by Hiroaki Etoh and
Kunikazu Yoda. The implementation in contemporary Clang and GCC is
somewhat different and newer, so use a generic term in the src.conf
descriptions.

Remove $FreeBSD$: one-line nroff pattern

Remove /^\.\\"\s*\$FreeBSD\$$\n/

Drop 'Set to' from most src.conf(5) knobs

The description is clearly what effect the knob has when set, so the
additional text was unnecessary.

Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for userland:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.

- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.
