AArch64 assembly pack: authenticate return addresses.



ARMv8.3 adds pointer authentication extension, which in this case allows
to ensure that, when offloaded to stack, return address is same at return
as at entry to the subroutine. The new instructions are nops on processors
that don't implement the extension, so that the vetification is backward
compatible.
