Add the UBSAN_LOCAL_BOUNDS check for Clang build
Explanations from the Linux kernel commit
6a6155f664e31c9be43cd:
When the kernel is compiled with Clang, -fsanitize=bounds expands to
-fsanitize=array-bounds and -fsanitize=local-bounds.
Enabling -fsanitize=local-bounds with Clang has the side-effect of
inserting traps.
That's why UBSAN_LOCAL_BOUNDS can enable the 'local-bounds' option
only when UBSAN_TRAP is enabled.

Describe the meaning of the checks
Don't add CmdlineChecks in add_kconfig_checks() to avoid wrong results
when the tool doesn't check the cmdline.
A common pattern for checking the 'param_x' cmdline parameter
that __overrides__ the 'PARAM_X_DEFAULT' kconfig option:
l += [OR(CmdlineCheck(reason, decision, 'param_x', '1'),
AND(KconfigCheck(reason, decision, 'PARAM_X_DEFAULT_ON', 'y'),
CmdlineCheck(reason, decision, 'param_x, 'is not set')))]
Here we don't check the kconfig options or minimal kernel version
required for the cmdline parameters. That would make the checks
very complex and not give a 100% guarantee anyway.

Improve the STACKPROTECTOR check
The Linux kernel 4.16-4.17 has a weird STACKPROTECTOR configuration:
CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE -- stackprotector is disabled;
CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR -- similar to current STACKPROTECTOR;
CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG -- similar to current STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG;
CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO -- the best stack-protector that compiler provides.
These options are mutually exclusive.
Let's improve the STACKPROTECTOR check:
- Add CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR as a valid alternative name of this option;
- Add CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG to avoid false negative result;
- Add CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO hoping that it enables at least STACKPROTECTOR.
The STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG check still requires explicit configuration, not
CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO.
