commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=2b751143929d2634c8927e3a392b0202708c4232
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

This will allow toolchain to indicate if they support
-fstack-protector-strong or not.

Whenever the gcc version is >= 4.9, we always have SSP_STRONG support
if we have SSP support. However, some toolchains older than gcc 4.9
might have backported SSP_STRONG support, which is why we cannot rely
just on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GCC_AT_LEAST_4_9.

Having this "default" value allows to avoid adding a "select
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP_STRONG" in the internal toolchain logic plus in
almost external toolchains. But it allows custom external toolchains
that are pre-4.9 to potentially declare that they support strong SSP.
