libunwindstack: support for Armv8.3-A Pointer Authentication

This patch adds support for handling return addresses signed with
pointer authentication. It simply strips the authentication code
without verifying its correctness, and thus works with both A and B
keys and through key-change boundaries.

Additons:
  * DW_CFA_AARCH64_negate_ra_state: new CFA operation.
  * RA_SIGN_STATE: new pseudo register.
  * Pass the arch to DwarfCfa so that the new op is only executed
    on aarch64.

The stripping uses the xpaclri instruction. This is a hint space
instruction which is compatible with pre Armv8.3-A devices. For cases
where it cannot be used, a mask can be set instead.

Test: libunwindstack_test
      Without this patch all UnwindTest.* testcases should fail if
      compiled with Pointer Authentication.

The tests should be executed with both -mbranch-protection=pac-ret and
pac-ret+leaf flags so that either some or all functions have pointer
authentication instructions.
