Allow for a randomized stack offset on a per-syscall basis, with roughly
5 bits of entropy.
In order to avoid unconditional stack canaries on syscall entry, also
downgrade from -fstack-protector-strong to -fstack-protector to avoid
triggering checks due to alloca(). Examining the resulting syscall.o,
sees no changes in canary coverage (none before, none now).
