[PATCH 6/15] arm: Add pointer authentication for stack-unwinding runtime

This patch adds authentication for when the stack is unwound when an
exception is taken.  All the changes here are done to the runtime code
in libgcc's unwinder code for Arm target. All the changes are guarded
under defined (__ARM_FEATURE_PAC_DEFAULT) and activated only if the
+pacbti feature is switched on for the architecture. This means that
switching on the target feature via -march or -mcpu is sufficient and
-mbranch-protection need not be enabled. This ensures that the
unwinder is authenticated only if the PACBTI instructions are
available in the non-NOP space as it uses AUTG.  Just generating
PAC/AUT instructions using -mbranch-protection will not enable
authentication on the unwinder.
