arm64: Apply dynamic shadow call stack patching in two passes

Code patching for the dynamically enabled shadow call stack comes down
to finding PACIASP and AUTIASP instructions -which behave as NOPs on
cores that do not implement pointer authentication- and converting them
into shadow call stack pushes and pops, respectively.

Due to past bad experiences with the highly complex and overengineered
DWARF standard that describes the unwind metadata that we are using to
locate these instructions, let's make this patching logic a little bit
more robust so that any issues with the unwind metadata detected at boot
time can de dealt with gracefully.

The DWARF annotations that are used for this are emitted at function
granularity, and due to the fact that the instructions we are patching
will simply behave as NOPs if left unpatched, we can abort on errors as
long as we don't leave any functions in a half-patched state.

So do a dry run of each FDE frame (covering a single function) before
performing the actual patching, and give up if the DWARF metadata cannot
be understood.

arm64: implement dynamic shadow call stack for Clang

Implement dynamic shadow call stack support on Clang, by parsing the
unwind tables at init time to locate all occurrences of PACIASP/AUTIASP
instructions, and replacing them with the shadow call stack push and pop
instructions, respectively.

This is useful because the overhead of the shadow call stack is
difficult to justify on hardware that implements pointer authentication
(PAC), and given that the PAC instructions are executed as NOPs on
hardware that doesn't, we can just replace them without breaking
anything. As PACIASP/AUTIASP are guaranteed to be paired with respect to
manipulations of the return address, replacing them 1:1 with shadow call
stack pushes and pops is guaranteed to result in the desired behavior.
