Flags of the module derived exclusively from the compiler flag `-mbranch-protection`.
The note is generated based on the module flags accordingly.
After this change in case of compile unit without function won't have
the .note.gnu.property if the compiler flag is not present [1].

PAC/BTI-related codegen in the AArch64 backend is controlled by a set
of LLVM IR function attributes, added to the function by Clang, based
on command-line options and GCC-style function attributes. However,
functions, generated in the LLVM middle end (for example,
asan.module.ctor or __llvm_gcov_write_out) do not get any attributes
and the backend incorrectly does not do any PAC/BTI code generation.
This patch record the default state of PAC/BTI codegen in a set of
LLVM IR module-level attributes, based on command-line options:
* "sign-return-address", with non-zero value means generate code to
sign return addresses (PAC-RET), zero value means disable PAC-RET.
* "sign-return-address-all", with non-zero value means enable PAC-RET
for all functions, zero value means enable PAC-RET only for
functions, which spill LR.
* "sign-return-address-with-bkey", with non-zero value means use B-key
for signing, zero value mean use A-key.
This set of attributes are always added for AArch64 targets (as
opposed, for example, to interpreting a missing attribute as having a
value 0) in order to be able to check for conflicts when combining
module attributed during LTO.
Module-level attributes are overridden by function level attributes.
All the decision making about whether to not to generate PAC and/or
BTI code is factored out into AArch64FunctionInfo, there shouldn't be
any places left, other than AArch64FunctionInfo, which directly
examine PAC/BTI attributes, except AArch64AsmPrinter.cpp, which
is/will-be handled by a separate patch.
