    Original change's description:
    > [arm64] Protect return addresses stored on stack
    > 
    > This change uses the Arm v8.3 pointer authentication instructions in
    > order to protect return addresses stored on the stack.  The generated
    > code signs the return address before storing on the stack and
    > authenticates it after loading it. This also changes the stack frame
    > iterator in order to authenticate stored return addresses and re-sign
    > them when needed, as well as the deoptimizer in order to sign saved
    > return addresses when creating new frames. This offers a level of
    > protection against ROP attacks.
    > 
    > This functionality is enabled with the v8_control_flow_integrity flag
    > that this CL introduces.
    > 
    > The code size effect of this change is small for Octane (up to 2% in
    > some cases but mostly much lower) and negligible for larger benchmarks,
    > however code size measurements are rather noisy. The performance impact
    > on current cores (where the instructions are NOPs) is single digit,
    > around 1-2% for ARES-6 and Octane, and tends to be smaller for big
    > cores than for little cores.
