This is part of the patch series to add support for BTI and
PAC in AArch64 linker.
1) This patch adds a new ld command line option: --force-bti.
In the presence of this option, the linker enables BTI with the
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI feature. This gives out warning
in case of missing gnu notes for BTI in inputs.
2) It also defines a new set of BTI enabled PLTs. These are used either
when all the inputs are marked with GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
or when the new --force-bti option is used. This required adding new
fields in elf_aarch64_link_hash_table so that we could make the PLT
related information more generic.
3) It also defines a dynamic tag DT_AARCH64_BTI_PLT. The linker uses
this whenever it picks BTI enabled PLTs.
All these are made according to the new AArch64 ELF ABI
