To reduce Git for Windows' attack surface, we started using the Address
Space Layout Randomization and Data Execution Prevention features in
ce6a158561
(mingw: enable DEP and ASLR, 2019-05-08).
To remove yet another attack vector, let's make use of gcc's stack
smashing protector that helps detect stack buffer overruns early.
Rather than using -fstack-protector, we use -fstack-protector-strong
because on Windows: The latter appears to strike a better balance
between the performance impact and the provided safety.
In a non-scientific test (time git log --grep=is -p), best of 5 timings
went from 23.009s to 22.997s, i.e. the performance impact was *well*
lost in the noise.
