Here is an updated version of the gcc-default-format-security.diff patch that enables -Wformat=1 and -Wformat-security by default, but honors users' -Wformat arguments to override the default.

This fixes the following gcc testcase failures:

Note that this patch is for gcc-4.9 and applies on top of the modified patch to enable -fstack-protector-strong by default in bug 1317307. I'll prepare a patch for gcc-4.8 for use in an SRU in a bit.

I've also added tests to lp:qa-regression-testing to ensure that passed command line arguments are honored over the default.
