[aarch64] Add support for pointer authentication B key
Armv8.3-A has another key used in pointer authentication called the
B-key (other than the A-key that is already supported). In order for
stack unwinders to work it is necessary to be able to identify frames
that have been signed with the B-key rather than the A-key and it was
felt that keeping this as an augmentation character in the CIE was the
best bet. The DWARF extensions for ARM therefore propose to add a new
augmentation character 'B' to the CIE augmentation string and the
corresponding cfi directive ".cfi_b_key_frame". I've made the relevant
changes to GAS and LD to add support for B-key unwinding, which required
modifying LD to check for 'B' in the augmentation string, adding the
".cfi_b_key_frame" directive to GAS and adding a "pauth_key" field to
GAS's fde_entry and cie_entry structs.
The pointer authentication instructions will behave as NOPs on
architectures that don't support them, and so a check for the
architecture being assembled for is not necessary since there will be no
behavioural difference between augmentation strings with and without the
'B' character on such architectures.
