[RFC PATCH 1/2] arm64: introduce infrastructure for emitting veneers at module reloc time

Introduce a framework for arm64 that allows errata fixups to be implemented
by replacing problematic instruction sequences with calls into veneers that
are generated on the fly.
This is based on the module PLT support for ARM.
