[PATCH 00/27] objtool: dynamically detect noreturns

The C and rust manual noreturn lists are a maintenance nightmare.  Get
rid of them by taking advantage of the fact that objtool can run on
linked objects (vmlinux.o and modules) and can thus detect noreturns
dynamically:

  1) When features are enabled which require the noreturn knowledge
     (i.e., control flow analysis) always defer objtool to run on linked
     objects.  That obsoletes most of noreturns.h. (patch 12)

  2) For noreturn functions which are exported by vmlinux, dynamically
     write their names to a file which is then read by objtool running
     on modules.  That obsoletes most of the remaining noreturns.h
     entries and the entirety of is_rust_noreturn(). (patch 24)

  3) For the (four) noreturn functions which are exported by modules,
     manually annotate them at their declaration sites with a new
     ANNOTATE_EXPORTED_NORETURN().  That removes the last few stragglers
     in noreturns.h. (patch 26)
