    aarch64: configure test for BTI support
    
    Check BTI support in the compiler and linker.  The check also
    requires READELF that understands the BTI GNU property note.
    It is expected to succeed with gcc >=gcc-9 configured with
    --enable-standard-branch-protection and binutils >=binutils-2.33.
    
    Note: passing -mbranch-protection=bti in CFLAGS when building glibc
    may not be enough to get a glibc that supports BTI because crtbegin*
    and crtend* provided by the compiler needs to be BTI compatible too.
