[PATCH 1/3] kbuild: Change CFI_CLANG to depend on __builtin_function_start

[Sami Tolvanen]

Clang 14 added support for the __builtin_function_start()
built-in function, which allows us to implement function_nocfi()
without architecture-specific inline assembly. This patch changes
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to depend on the built-in and effectively upgrades
the minimum supported compiler version for CFI to Clang 14.
