objtool: Add retpoline validation

Browse Source 
David requested a objtool validation pass for CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y enabled
builds, where it validates no unannotated indirect  jumps or calls are
left.

Add an additional .discard.retpoline_safe section to allow annotating
the few indirect sites that are required and safe.
