No implementation is using the alternative marking scheme; take the opportunity to remove it, so that toolchains do not need to support it. The alternative marking scheme started as the default one back when the spec was written. At the time there were only prototype implementations for which signing schema compatibility and versioning weren't important. Over time Arm's ELF marking for SysV has evolved such that the preference for ELF executables and shared-libraries is to use GNU Program Properties. We intend to migrate to Build Attributes for relocatable objects, but until that change is made GNU Program Properties should be used in relocatable objects too. The alternative ELF marking scheme was preserved for backwards compatibility, however no current implementation needs that so it can be removed.

…RE_PAUTH` This adds support for `GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_PAUTH` feature handling in llvm-readobj and llvm-readelf. The following constants for supported platforms are also introduced: - `AARCH64_PAUTH_PLATFORM_INVALID = 0x0` - `AARCH64_PAUTH_PLATFORM_BAREMETAL = 0x1` - `AARCH64_PAUTH_PLATFORM_LLVM_LINUX = 0x10000002` For the llvm_linux platform, output of the tools contains descriptions of PAuth features which are enabled/disabled depending on the version value. Version value bits correspond to the following `LangOptions`: - bit 0: `PointerAuthIntrinsics`; - bit 1: `PointerAuthCalls`; - bit 2: `PointerAuthReturns`; - bit 3: `PointerAuthAuthTraps`; - bit 4: `PointerAuthVTPtrAddressDiscrimination`; - bit 5: `PointerAuthVTPtrTypeDiscrimination`; - bit 6: `PointerAuthInitFini`. Support for `.note.AARCH64-PAUTH-ABI-tag` is dropped since it's deleted from the spec in ARM-software/abi-aa#250.
