Subject: [GCC][PATCH v2] arm: Add pacbti related multilib support for armv8.1-m.main.

Hi,

This patch adds the support for pacbti multlilib linking by making
"-mbranch-protection=none" as default in the command line for all M-profile
targets and uses "-mbranch-protection=none" for multilib matching. If any
valid value is passed to "-mbranch-protection" in the command line, this
new value overwrites the default value in the command line and uses
"-mbranch-protection=standard" for multilib matching.

Eg 1.

If the passed command line flags are:
a) -march=armv8.1-m.main+mve -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto
b) -mcpu=cortex-m85+nopacbti -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto

After this patch the command line flags the compiler receives will be:
a) -march=armv8.1-m.main+mve -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto -mbranch-protection=none
b) -mcpu=cortex-m85+nopacbti -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto -mbranch-protection=none

"-mbranch-protection=none" will be used in the multilib matching.

Eg 2.

If the passed command line flags are:
a) -march=armv8.1-m.main+mve+pacbti -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto  -mbranch-protection=pac-ret
b) -mcpu=cortex-m85 -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto  -mbranch-protection=pac-ret+bti

After this patch the command line flags the compiler receives will be:
a) -march=armv8.1-m.main+mve+pacbti -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto -mbranch-protection=pac-ret
b) -mcpu=cortex-m85 -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto -mbranch-protection=pac-ret+bti

"-mbranch-protection=standard" will be used in the multilib matching.

Eg 3.

For A-profile target, if the passed command line flags are:
-march=armv8-a+simd -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto

Even after this patch the command line flags compiler receives will remain the same:
-march=armv8-a+simd -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=auto

Regression tested on arm-none-eabi and bootstrapped on arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.

Ok for master?

Regards,
Srinath.
