In order to be able to disable BTI at runtime, whether it is
for testing purposes, or to work around HW issues, let's add
support for overriding the ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.BTI field.
This is further mapped on the arm64.nobti command-line alias.

Verified this Series for BTI as well for command line control.
With arm64.nobti:
BTI is disabled on both primary and secondary cores as expected(verified
page table entries).
HWCAPs show no BTI support and kernel instructions are being treated as
NOPs.
We don't have plan to repeat the test on v5 as there are not major
changes here.
