Rename --enable-expensive-hardening configure option 

It is renamed to --enable-fragile-hardening.

TROVE-2017-001 was triggerable only through the expensive hardening which is
making the tor daemon abort when the issue is detected. Thus, it makes tor
more at risk of remote crashes but safer against RCE or heartbleed bug
category.

Fixes #21290.

============
Warning! Building Tor with --enable-fragile-hardening (also known as
--enable-expensive-hardening) makes some kinds of attacks harder, but makes
other kinds of attacks easier. A Tor instance build with this option will be
somewhat less vulnerable to remote code execution, arithmetic overflow, or
out-of-bounds read/writes... but at the cost of becoming more vulnerable to
denial of service attacks. For more information, see
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorFragileHardening
