Sudakshina Das 4e5391148d [BFD, AArch64, x86] Improve warning for --force-bti
The AArch64 linker option to turn on BTI (--force-bti) warns in case there are
input objects which have a missing GNU NOTE section for BTI. This patch is trying
to improve the warnings that come out.

In order to do so, I propose adding a new argument to elf_merge_gnu_properties
and the backend function merge_gnu_properties. This new argument makes sure
that we now pass both the objects along with the properties to which they
belong to. The x86 backend function has also been updated to match this
change.
