Pointer authentication config and user facing options This patch brings: * unified handling of pointer authentication options through: `-Zpointer-authentication`, with possible values: `aarch64-jump-table-hardening`, `auth-traps`, `calls`, `elf-got`, `function-pointer-type-discrimination`, `indirect-gotos`, `init-fini`, `init-fini-address-discrimination`, `return-addresses`. Toggled with `+`/`-`. * centralized handling of pointer authentication features. Session holds `pointer_auth_config: Option<PointerAuthConfig>` * encapsulation of schema for function pointers and init/fini through `PointerAuthSchema`. This allowed for retiring of `PacMetadata`. * refactor enabling of pointer authentication in code, instead of relying on the target (`pauthtest`) use the session
