objtool: Add entry UNRET validation



Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the
retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET
instruction.

Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts
as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or
those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0.

This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is
intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked
entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END.

If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be
reported.

There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances:

 - UNTRAIN_RET itself
 - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET
 - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET
