[PATCH, BINUTILS, AARCH64, 7/9] Add BTI instruction

Hi

This patch is part of the patch series to add support for ARMv8.5-A
extensions.
(https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/cpu-architecture/a-profile/docs/ddi0596/a/a64-base-instructions-alphabetic-order/bti-branch-target-identification)

The Branch Target Identification instructions (BTI) are allocated to
existing HINT space, using HINT numbers 32, 34, 36, 38, such that
bits[7:6] of the instruction identify the compatibility of the BTI
instruction to different branches.
        BTI {<targets>}
where <targets> one of the following, specifying which type of
indirection is allowed:
       j : Can be a target of any BR Xn isntruction.
       c : Can be a target of any BLR Xn and BR {X16|X17}.
       jc: Can be a target of any free branch.

A BTI instruction without any <targets> is the strictest of all and
can not be a target of nay free branch.

Testing done: Builds and reg tests all pass on aarch64-none-linux-gnu.
and aarch64-none-elf. Updated and added new tests to check.

Ok for trunk?

Thanks
Sudi
PS. I do not have commit access so if OK can someone apply for me?
Also the patch was too big to attach due to the regenerated files.
