SVE has a separate identification register indicating support for BFloat16
operations. Add a hwcap identifying support for EBF16 in this register,
mirroring what we did for the non-SVE case.
While there is currently an architectural requirement for BF16 support to
be the same in SVE and non-SVE contexts there are separate identification
registers this separate hwcap helps avoid issues if that requirement were
to be relaxed in the future, we have already chosen to have a separate
capability for base BF16 support.

This patch adds the bare minimum required to expose the ARMv8.5
Branch Target Identification feature to userspace.
By itself, this does _not_ automatically enable BTI for any initial
executable pages mapped by execve(). This will come later, but for
now it should be possible to enable BTI manually on those pages by
using mprotect() from within the target process.
Other arches already using the generic mman.h are already using
0x10 for arch-specific prot flags, so we use that for PROT_BTI
here.
For consistency, signal handler entry points in BTI guarded pages
are required to be annotated as such, just like any other function.
This blocks a relatively minor attack vector, but comforming
userspace will have the annotations anyway, so we may as well
enforce them.

To make easier to match against the definition in the header, they are

HWCAP first by ascending value, and then HWCAP2 in the similar fashion.
