Subject: 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.
