gcc: enable branch protection by standard

Pass --enable-standard-branch-protection.  This is an aarch64-specific
option (currently) which does nothing on other targets.  On aarch64 this
generates code uses BTI/PAC instructions to mitigate Return Orientated
Programming attacks.  This approach is backwards compatible and the code
size/performance impact is typically negliable.
