Maintain consistency with the other options by failing to open when they
aren't supported. For example ETM_OPT_TS, ETM_OPT_CTXTID2 and the newly
added ETM_OPT_BRANCH_BROADCAST all return with -EINVAL if they are
requested but not supported by hardware.

The consequence of not doing this is that the user may not be
aware that they are not enabling the feature as it is silently disabled.

nit: While at this, please could you change the hard coded value
to ETM4_CFG_BIT_RETSTK ?
I started changing them all because I had trouble searching for bits by name but then
I thought it would snowball into a bigger change so I undid it.

I think I'll just go and do it now if it's an issue here.
Otherwise, looks good to me
