[hexagon] Bump the default version to v68 (#132304)
Set the default processor version to v68 when the user does not specify
one in the command line. This includes changes in the LLVM backed and
linker (lld). Since lld normally sets the version based on inputs, this
change will only affect cases when there are no inputs.

Fixes #127558

Non-comprehensive list of changes in this release
=================================================
ELF Improvements
----------------
* For AArch64, added support for ``-zgcs-report-dynamic``, enabling checks for
GNU GCS Attribute Flags in Dynamic Objects when GCS is enabled. Inherits value
from ``-zgcs-report`` (capped at ``warning`` level) unless user-defined,
ensuring compatibility with GNU ld linker.
* The default Hexagon architecture version in ELF object files produced by
lld is changed to v68. This change is only effective when the version is
not provided in the command line by the user and cannot be inferred from
inputs.
