An arch may want to tweak the mmap prot flags for an
ELFexecutable's initial mappings.  For example, arm64 is going to
need to add PROT_BTI for executable pages in an ELF process whose
executable is marked as using Branch Target Identification (an
ARMv8.5-A control flow integrity feature).

So that this can be done in a generic way, add a hook
arch_elf_adjust_prot() to modify the prot flags as desired: arches
can select CONFIG_HAVE_ELF_PROT and implement their own backend
where necessary.

By default, leave the prot flags unchanged.
