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.

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.
