option to break the uAPI and close the mess of holes that legacy

Update the HW_RANDOM_TPM check
Clip OS says that RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER and RANDOM_TRUST_CPU should be
disabled if HW_RANDOM_TPM is enabled. The Clip OS description:
Do not credit entropy included in Linux’s entropy pool when generated
by the CPU manufacturer’s HWRNG, the bootloader or the UEFI firmware.
Fast and robust initialization of Linux’s CSPRNG is instead achieved
thanks to the TPM’s HWRNG.
At the same time KSPP recommends to enable RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER and
RANDOM_TRUST_CPU anyway:
Get as much entropy as possible from external sources. The Chacha mixer
isn't vulnerable to injected entropy, so even malicious sources
should not cause problems.
In this situation, I think kconfig-hardened-check should check
only HW_RANDOM_TPM (there is no contradiction about it)
and leave the decision about RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER and
RANDOM_TRUST_CPU to the owner of the system.

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
