The CFI test uses the branch-protection=none compiler attribute to
disable PAC return address protection on a function. While newer GCC
versions support this attribute, older versions (GCC 7 and 8) instead
supported the sign-return-address=none attribute, leading to a build
failure when the test is built with older compilers. Fix it by checking
which attribute is supported and using the correct one.
