…LF/GAS) The AArch64 fcontext trampolines (jump_fcontext, make_fcontext, ontop_fcontext) are indirect-entry-points. On BTI-enforcing systems they must begin with a BTI or the first resume can trap with SIGILL. Insert `bti c` (hint boostorg#34) at each entry under `__ARM_FEATURE_BTI_DEFAULT`, and emit `GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI` from each AArch64 assembly file so linkers map the DSO with PROT_BTI without requiring -z force-bti.

Add BTI hint + GNU property to fcontext trampolines
The AArch64 fcontext trampolines (jump_fcontext, make_fcontext, ontop_fcontext) are indirect-entry-points. On BTI-enforcing systems they must begin with a BTI or the first resume can trap with SIGILL.

Fixes #308
Notes
bti jissue #149267; exception paths built with affected Clang toolchains will still require the upstream fix.
