Subject: [PATCH] configure: build position independent executables on
 x86-Linux hosts

Change the default on x86 Linux hosts to building PIE (position
independent executables); instead of restricting the option to
user-only targets, apply it to all targets.

In addition, set the relocation sections to read-only (relro) when
available; this reduces the attack surface by disallowing changes to
relocation tables at runtime.

While PIE reduces performance and relro increases load time, it
greatly improves security, with the potential to reduce a code
execution vulnerability to a self denial of service.

Non-x86 are not changed, as they require TCG changes; neither are
non-Linux, due to lack of test coverage.
