Rewrite abi-note.S in C.
Using C code allows the compiler to add target specific object file
markings based on CFLAGS.

The arm specific abi-note.S is removed and similar object file fix
up will be avoided on AArch64 with standard branch protection.

+/* Define an ELF note identifying the operating-system ABI that the
+   executable was created for.  The ELF note information identifies a
+   particular OS or coordinated development effort within which the
+   ELF header's e_machine value plus (for dynamically linked programs)
+   the PT_INTERP dynamic linker name and DT_NEEDED shared library
+   names fully identify the runtime environment required by an
+   executable.
+
+   The general format of ELF notes is as follows.
+   Offsets and lengths are bytes or (parenthetical references) to the
+   values in other fields.
+
+offset	length	contents
+0	4	length of name
+4	4	length of data
+8	4	note type
+12	(0)	vendor name
+		- null-terminated ASCII string, padded to 4-byte alignment
+12+(0)	(4)	note data,
+
+   The GNU project and cooperating development efforts (including the
+   Linux community) use note type 1 and a vendor name string of "GNU"
+   for a note descriptor that indicates ABI requirements.  The note data
+   is four 32-bit words.  The first of these is an operating system
+   number (0=Linux, 1=Hurd, 2=Solaris, ...) and the remaining three
+   identify the earliest release of that OS that supports this ABI.
+   See abi-tags (top level) for details. */
