LTO objects might compiled with different `mbranch-protection` flags which will cause an error in the linker.
Such a setup is allowed in the normal build with this change that is possible.

Branch protection in M-class is supported by
- Armv8.1-M.Main
- Armv8-M.Main
- Armv7-M
Attempting to enable this for other architectures, either by
command-line (e.g -mbranch-protection=bti) or by target attribute
in source code (e.g. __attribute__((target("branch-protection=..."))) )
will generate a warning.
In both cases function attributes related to branch protection will not
be emitted. Regardless of the warning, module level attributes related to
branch protection will be emitted when it is enabled via the command-line.
