Ed Maste 2f3a961487 Add RELRO build knob, default to enabled
Note that lld enables relro by default, so that we already had either
partial or full RELRO, depending on the state of the BIND_NOW knob.

Add a RELRO knob so that the option can be disabled if desired, and so
that builds using the GNU toolchain are equivalent to those using the
standard Clang/LLVM toolchain.

.\" $FreeBSD$
Build all binaries with the
.Dv DF_BIND_NOW
flag set to indicate that the run-time loader should perform all relocation
processing at process startup rather than on demand.
The combination of the
.Va BIND_NOW
and
.Va RELRO
options provide "full" Relocation Read-Only (RELRO) support.
With full RELRO the entire GOT is made read-only after performing relocation at
startup, avoiding GOT overwrite attacks.
