gcc-plugins: Add structleak for more stack initialization

This plugin detects any structures that contain __user attributes and
makes sure it is being fully initialized so that a specific class of
information exposure is eliminated. (This plugin was originally designed
to block the exposure of siginfo in CVE-2013-2141.)

Ported from grsecurity/PaX. This version adds a verbose option to the
plugin and the Kconfig.

This plugin zero-initializes any structures that containing a
__user attribute. This can prevent some classes of information
exposures.
This plugin was ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:

help
This option will cause a warning to be printed each time the
structleak plugin finds a variable it thinks needs to be
initialized. Since not all existing initializers are detected
by the plugin, this can produce false positive warnings.
