configure.ac: add --disable-exec-static-tramp flag (#647)

Some projects like GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) and
gobject-introspection use `ffi_closure_alloc()` as a way
to allocate executable memory. exec static tramp
interferes with it (unclear how exactly yet).

GHC symptom: ffi closure freeing cimplains about unexpected
trampoline (GHC manually fills one):

```
$ ghci
GHCi, version 8.10.5: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
ghc: freeHaskellFunctionPtr: not for me, guv! 0x7f0417a1efe8
ghc: freeHaskellFunctionPtr: not for me, guv! 0x7f0417a1efc8
```

gobject-introspection symptom:

```
$ meld
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ gdb --args /usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/meld
(gdb) run
...

...
```

To ease downstreams narrowing down the actual problem let's
provide a knob to disable exec static trampolines.

The change for not affect current default.
