[StackProtector] attribute __stack_chk_fail as NoReturn

When GCC added support for stack smashing protections, it was defined
that:

> This hook returns a CALL_EXPR that alerts the runtime that the stack
> protect guard variable has been modified. This expression should
> involve a call to a noreturn function.
> The default version of this hook invokes a function called
> ‘__stack_chk_fail’, taking no arguments.

Do so as well for __stack_smash_handler for OpenBSD.

Every libc implementation I could find has __stack_chk_fail marked
noreturn, or the implementation calls abort, exit, or panic (which
themselves are noreturn).

This will later help us diagnose functions that fall through to other
functions vs end in calls to functions that are noreturn.
