Subject: [PATCH v4 10/14] kbuild: Introduce FRAME_WARN_BUMP_FLAG

When building with CONFIG_FRAME_WARN, it is sometimes useful to
give certain compilation units small additional headroom. This is
normally useful when VLA removal exposes a large stack allocation,
especially with FRAME_WARN at 1024 or smaller. This adds 20%.
