Add a new "Security" build settings group and an
"Enhanced Security" build setting that enables a number of security
settings at once, including:
* Enabling pointer authentication
* Enabling the typed allocator
* Enabling hardened libc++
* Enabling stack zero initialization
* Enabling security relevant compiler warnings
The goal is that enabling the Enhanced Security build setting
should enable all of these other settings by default and that
projects will be able to explicitly disable individual settings if needed.

GitHub actions: the Windows failure is a known issue which I fixed on main in #647 and should probably cherry-pick back to release/6.2. The Linux failures on Focal are irrelevant because Swift 6.2 will not support Focal beginning one week from today. |

Ignore Focal CI failures, that was removed in #676. Ignore Windows 2022 too, there's a fix that needs to be brought back from the main branch. |

It looks good otherwise. I don't have privileges to merge. @jakepetroules can you do that for me? |
