BR2_FORTIFY*: toolchain wrapper limitation note



A note is added to tie off the discussion on why moving _FORTIFY_SOURCE
related flags into the toolchain wrapper doesn't currently work.

 - Currently -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE and optimizations are passed through
   CFLAGS

 - Packages like linux-tools ignore CFLAGS entirely and some
   autotools toolchain testing cases dependent on not using
   CFLAGS.

 - If FORTIFY_SOURCE is passed through the wrapper, then linux-tools
   will no longer be able to ignore it, because it's enforced at a
   lower-level and since the optimization -Os/g/1/2/3 are via CFLAGS,
   there is no optimization flag set.  Therefore linux-tools will do
   all its configuration tests with FORTIFY_SOURCE forcefully enabled
   at the wrapper level, but no optimization enabled, and consequently
   tests will fail.
