arm64: Kconfig: verify binutils support for ARM64_PTR_AUTH
Clang relies on GNU as from binutils to assemble the Linux kernel,
currently. A recent patch to enable the armv8.3-a extension for pointer
authentication checked for compiler support of the relevant flags.
Everything works with binutils 2.34+, but for older versions we observe
assembler errors:
/tmp/vgettimeofday-36a54b.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/vgettimeofday-36a54b.s:40: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.cfi_negate_ra_state'
When compiling with Clang, require the assembler to support
.cfi_negate_ra_state directives, in order to support CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH.
