Properly detect availability of flags in cmake/compilerFlags.cmake (#1252)

Instead of relying on fragile and complex logic to decide if a
compiler flag is available or not, use the check_c_compiler_flag()
macro provided by the CMake standard library.

This for example avoids using -fcf-protection on architectures that
don't support this option.

(cherry picked from commit dd2d181755a6e642c0a8e3225ef5407fff49eb3a)

When resolving the conflict from applying the patch, I also took the liberty
of re-indenting the snippet correcly and fixing mismatching
HAS_FCF_PROTECTION and HAS_FSTACK_PROTECTOR_STRONG variables
(the conditionals used GCC_ prefix but the variables were definded without it).
