Enable ARMv8.1-m PACBTI support

This set of changes enable support for the ARMv8.1-m PACBTI extensions [1].

The goal of the PACBTI extensions is similar in scope to that of a-profile
PAC/BTI (aarch64 only), but the underlying implementation is different.

One important difference is that the pointer authentication code is stored
in a separate register, thus we don't need to mask/unmask the return address
from a function in order to produce a correct backtrace.

The patch introduces the following modifications:

- Extend the prologue analyser for 32-bit ARM to handle some instructions
from ARMv8.1-m PACBTI: pac, aut, pacg, autg and bti. Also keep track of
return address signing/authentication instructions.

- Adds code to identify object file attributes that indicate the presence of
ARMv8.1-m PACBTI (Tag_PAC_extension, Tag_BTI_extension, Tag_PACRET_use and
Tag_BTI_use).

- Adds support for DWARF pseudo-register RA_AUTH_CODE, as described in the
aadwarf32 [2].

- Extends the dwarf unwinder to track the value of RA_AUTH_CODE.

- Decorates backtraces with the "[PAC]" identifier when a frame has signed
the return address.

- Makes GDB aware of a new XML feature "org.gnu.gdb.arm.m-profile-pacbti". This
feature is not included as an XML file on GDB's side because it is only
supported for bare metal targets.

- Additional documentation.
