aarch64: New Straight Line Speculation (SLS) mitigation flags
Here we introduce the flags that will be used for straight line speculation.
The new flag introduced is `-mharden-sls=`.
This flag can take arguments of `none`, `all`, or a comma seperated list of one
or more of `retbr` or `blr`.
`none` indicates no special mitigation of the straight line speculation
vulnerability.
`all` requests all mitigations currently implemented.
`retbr` requests that the RET and BR instructions have a speculation barrier
inserted after them.
`blr` requests that BLR instructions are replaced by a BL to a function stub
using a BR with a speculation barrier after it.
Setting this on a per-function basis using attributes or the like is not
enabled, but may be in the future.
