firmware: disable stack protector by default

Disable stack protector for all boards/apps by default, not only
qmod-dfu. Use 'make STACK_PROTECTOR=1' to enable.

This was recommened by Eric:
"I'd argue that we do not want this in general, since it adds canaries
to all functions that deal with buffers, and therefore impacts the
overall timing in a non determinstic way depending on inlining and
optimizations, while contributing nothing in non debug builds."
