This is part of the patch series to add support for BTI and
PAC in AArch64 linker.
This patch implements the following:
1) This extends in the gnu property support in the linker for
AArch64 by defining backend hooks for elf_backend_setup_gnu_properties,
elf_backend_merge_gnu_properties and elf_backend_parse_gnu_properties.
2) It defines AArch64 specific GNU property
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND and 2 bit for BTI and PAC in it.
3) It also adds support in readelf.c to read and print these new
GNU properties in AArch64.
All these are made according to the new AArch64 ELF ABI
