Subject: [RFC][PATCH 5/6] objtool: Allow archs to rewrite retpolines

When retpolines are employed, compilers typically emit calls to
retpoline thunks. Objtool recognises these calls and marks them as
dynamic calls.

Provide infrastructure for architectures to rewrite/augment what the
compiler wrote for us.
