[PATCH v1 RFC Zisslpcfi 15/20] sslp prctl: arch-agnostic prctl for shadow stack and landing pad instr

Three architectures (x86, aarch64, riscv) have announced support for
shadow stack and enforcing requirement of landing pad instructions on
indirect call/jmp. This patch adds arch-agnostic prtcl support to enable
/disable/get/set status of shadow stack and forward control (landing pad)
flow cfi statuses.

New prctls are
      - PR_GET_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS, PR_SET_SHADOW_STACK_STATUS
      - PR_GET_INDIRECT_BR_LP_STATUS, PR_SET_INDIRECT_BR_LP_STATUS
