Added a simple mangle testcase which messes with the ucontext_t
from within the sig_handler, trying to toggle PSTATE SSBS bit.
Expect SIGILL if SSBS feature unsupported or that the value set in
PSTATE.SSBS is preserved on test PASS.

Nit: there's a redundant level of ! here, and the outer () are unnecessary:

	(!!a == !!b) -> !a == !b


This was me badly convinced (not sure where I got this) that the bitpos of PSR_SSBS_BIT in pstate was different from the bitpos as reported in the output of MRS SSBS, so I was trying to normalize the comparison to 1 == 1 or 0 == 0

...but in fact bitpos is the same between PSTATE and MSR SSBS so it can be compared directly.



[...]

Can we trigger a second signal after the first returns, to grab the
updated ucontext and check SSBS in there directly?

Checking that the updated value is _also_ visible via MRS remains
useful though, so we should keep that.


I have added an informational message that reports the PSTATE and the status of SSBS as grabbed from uc via an induced SIGUSR2.
Test outcome is anyway  determined on MRS SSBS result.

If HWCAP_SSBS is available the feature is considered available and so MRS SSBS MUST work. If instead feature is NOT supported as stated in HWCAP_SSBS the test is anyway run but the MRS SSBS is expected to cause a SIGILL (COULD not SHOULD...since HW_CAP could be reporting wrong caps and so MRS SSBS will still work)

Moreover I fixed a small glitch: I was toggling the SSBS bit in uc PSTATE, BUT this make no sense...toggling to zero there's NO way I can check if Kernel preserve it to zero...so now I'm setting to 1 and then check if it has been preserved by Kernel
