[PATCH 0/8] stackleak: Support Clang stack depth tracking

Hi,
As part of looking at what GCC plugins could be replaced with Clang
implementations, this series uses the recently landed stack depth tracking
callback in Clang[1] to implement the stackleak feature. Since the Clang
feature is now landed, I'm moving this out of RFC to a v1.
Since this touches a lot of arch-specific Makefiles, I tried to trim
the CC list down to just mailing lists in those cases, otherwise the CC
was giant.
Thanks!

[1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/SanitizerCoverage.html#tracing-stack-depth
v1:
- Finalize Clang URLs for landed feature
- Perform CFLAGS enabling more sanely, as done for randstruct
- Split __no_sanitize_coverage into separate patch
- Update hardening.config and MAINTAINERS
- Fix bug found with nvme tree
RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250502185834.work.560-kees@kernel.org/
