Subject: [PATCH V3 2/9] objtool: Allow branches within the same alternative.

Currently objtool prevents any branch to an alternative. While preventing
branching from the outside to the middle of an alternative makes perfect
sense, branching within the same alternative should be allowed. To do so,
identify each alternative and check that a branch to an alternative comes
from the same alternative.
