libressl: use CFLAGS to avoid exectuable stack

Browse source 
It turns out that libcrypto had an exectuable stack, because it linked
some objects without a .note.GNU-stack section. Compilers add this
section by default, but the objects produced from .S files did not
contain it. The .S files do include a directive to add the section, but
guarded behind an #ifdef HAVE_GNU_STACK. So define HAVE_GNU_STACK, to
ensure that all objects have a .note.GNU-stack section.
