Currently we don't build the PAC selftests when building with LLVM=1 since
we attempt to test for PAC support in the toolchain before we've set up the
build system to point at LLVM in lib.mk, which has to be one of the last
things in the Makefile.
Since all versions of LLVM supported for use with the kernel have PAC
support we can just sidestep the issue by just assuming PAC is there when
doing a LLVM=1 build.

PAuth signs and verifies return addresses on the stack. It does so by
inserting a Pointer Authentication code (PAC) into some of the unused top
bits of an address. This is achieved by adding paciasp/autiasp instructions
at the beginning and end of a function.
This feature is partially backwards compatible with earlier versions of the
ARM architecture. To coerce the compiler into emitting fully backwards
compatible code the main file is compiled to target an earlier ARM version.
This allows the tests to check for the feature and print meaningful error
messages instead of crashing.
Add a test to verify that corrupting the return address results in a
SIGSEGV on return.
