hardening: Remove Clang's enable flag for -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero
Now that Clang's -enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang
option is no longer required, remove it from the command line. Clang 16
and later will warn when it is used, which will cause Kconfig to think
it can't use -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero at all. Check for whether it
is required and only use it when so.
