    aarch64: New Straight Line Speculation (SLS) mitigation flags
    
    Here we introduce the flags that will be used for straight line speculation.
    
    The new flag introduced is `-mharden-sls=`.
    This flag can take arguments of `none`, `all`, or a comma seperated list of one
    or more of `retbr` or `blr`.
    `none` indicates no special mitigation of the straight line speculation
    vulnerability.
    `all` requests all mitigations currently implemented.
    `retbr` requests that the RET and BR instructions have a speculation barrier
    inserted after them.
    `blr` requests that BLR instructions are replaced by a BL to a function stub
    using a BR with a speculation barrier after it.
    
    Setting this on a per-function basis using attributes or the like is not
    enabled, but may be in the future.
    
    (cherry-picked from a9ba2a9b77bec7eacaf066801f22d1c366a2bc86)
