Security's request to add gcc hardening flags is valid as discussed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-12/+bug/1972043.

> As Kees says, adding it to gcc means not only does this benefit Ubuntu archive packages, but also any software which is built on a Ubuntu machine using gcc (ie snaps built by launchpad, packages built on Github using Ubuntu as the CI backend etc) - which is a great benefit IMO.
