[PATCH v3] ARM: Implement SLS mitigation

[Jian Cai]

This patch adds CONFIG_HARDEN_SLS_ALL that can be used to turn on
-mharden-sls=all, which mitigates the straight-line speculation
vulnerability, speculative execution of the instruction following some
unconditional jumps. Notice -mharden-sls= has other options as below,
and this config turns on the strongest option.

all: enable all mitigations against Straight Line Speculation that are implemented.
none: disable all mitigations against Straight Line Speculation.
retbr: enable the mitigation against Straight Line Speculation for RET and BR instructions.
blr: enable the mitigation against Straight Line Speculation for BLR instructions.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  Modify linker scripts as Nick suggested to address boot failure
  (verified with qemu). Added more details in Kconfig.hardening
  description. Disable the config by default.
