Add new command line option -z memtag-stack for aarch64 elf.  This
option instructs the linker to generate the necessary dynamic tag
DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_STACK, which the dynamic loader can then use to
protect the stack memory with PROT_MTE.  Linker issues an
'unrecognized option' error when -z memtag-stack is specified for
non-aarch64 based emulations.

readelf displays the dynamic tag when present:

$ readelf -d <exectutable>
Dynamic section at offset 0xfdd8 contains XX entries:
Tag        Type                         Name/Value
0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libc.so.6]
0x000000000000000c (INIT)               0x400520
0x000000000000000d (FINI)               0x400b64
0x0000000000000019 (INIT_ARRAY)         0x41fdc8
...                 ...                 ...
0x000000007000000c (AARCH64_MEMTAG_STACK) 0x1
...                 ...                 ...

ChangeLog:

        * bfd/elfnn-aarch64.c (elfNN_aarch64_late_size_sections): Emit
DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_STACK dynamic tag.
        * bfd/elfxx-aarch64.h (struct aarch64_memtag_opts): Add new
member for tracking whether stack access uses MTE insns.
        * binutils/readelf.c (get_aarch64_dynamic_type): Handle
DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_STACK.
        * ld/emultempl/aarch64elf.em: Add new command line option.
        * ld/ld.texi: Add documentation for -z memtag-stack.
        * ld/testsuite/ld-aarch64/aarch64-elf.exp: Add new test.
        * ld/testsuite/ld-aarch64/dt-memtag-stack.d: New test.

include/ChangeLog:

        * elf/aarch64.h (DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_STACK): New definition.
