Improve fortification coverage with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3

MongoDB Server codebase uses `_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2` fortification level (e.g. see v7.0, latest at the moment: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/v7.0/SConstruct#L4698). Consider changing it to a new fortification level (`_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3`) provided by GCC 12 to improve DB's security.
