Previously, the implicit warnings from force-bti (or gcs=always) weren't possible to silence. The force-ibt/cet-report flags could also be handled the same way, but I haven't checked with GNU ld how they behave. And there, the force-ibt flag only produces warnings if the IBT bit is missing, while cet-report warns if either IBT or SHSTK are missing - but force-ibt probably shouldn't implicitly start warning for missing SHSTK. This addresses a discrepancy to GNU ld that was noted in #186173.
