Rewrite abi-note.S in C.
Using C code allows the compiler to add target specific object file markings based on CFLAGS. The arm specific abi-note.S is removed and similar object file fix up will be avoided on AArch64 with standard branch protection.

+/* Define an ELF note identifying the operating-system ABI that the
+ executable was created for. The ELF note information identifies a
+ particular OS or coordinated development effort within which the
+ ELF header's e_machine value plus (for dynamically linked programs)
+ the PT_INTERP dynamic linker name and DT_NEEDED shared library
+ names fully identify the runtime environment required by an
+ executable.
+
+ The general format of ELF notes is as follows.
+ Offsets and lengths are bytes or (parenthetical references) to the
+ values in other fields.
+
+offset length contents
+0 4 length of name
+4 4 length of data
+8 4 note type
+12 (0) vendor name
+ - null-terminated ASCII string, padded to 4-byte alignment
+12+(0) (4) note data,
+
+ The GNU project and cooperating development efforts (including the
+ Linux community) use note type 1 and a vendor name string of "GNU"
+ for a note descriptor that indicates ABI requirements. The note data
+ is four 32-bit words. The first of these is an operating system
+ number (0=Linux, 1=Hurd, 2=Solaris, ...) and the remaining three
+ identify the earliest release of that OS that supports this ABI.
+ See abi-tags (top level) for details. */
