Add all of the flags that are needed to support the shadow call stack (SCS) sanitizer with Rust, and updates Kconfig to allow only configurations that work. The -Zfixed-x18 flag is required to use SCS on arm64, and requires rustc version 1.80.0 or greater. This restriction is reflected in Kconfig. When CONFIG_DYNAMIC_SCS is enabled, the build will be configured to include unwind tables in the build artifacts. Dynamic SCS uses the unwind tables at boot to find all places that need to be patched. The -Cforce-unwind-tables=y flag ensures that unwind tables are available for Rust code. In non-dynamic mode, the -Zsanitizer=shadow-call-stack flag is what enables the SCS sanitizer. Using this flag requires rustc version 1.82.0 or greater on the targets used by Rust in the kernel. This restriction is reflected in Kconfig. It is possible to avoid the requirement of rustc 1.80.0 by using -Ctarget-feature=+reserve-x18 instead of -Zfixed-x18. However, this flag emits a warning during the build, so this patch does not add support for using it and instead requires 1.80.0 or greater. The dependency is placed on `select HAVE_RUST` to avoid a situation where enabling Rust silently turns off the sanitizer. Instead, turning on the sanitizer results in Rust being disabled. We generally do not want changes to CONFIG_RUST to result in any mitigations being changed or turned off. At the time of writing, rustc 1.82.0 only exists via the nightly release channel. There is a chance that the -Zsanitizer=shadow-call-stack flag will end up needing 1.83.0 instead, but I think it is small.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
