[clang][RISCV][Zicfilp] Force user to use `-mcf-branch-label-scheme=unlabeled` (#152122)

Expected Behavior:

When `-fcf-protection=branch|full` is specified, it's an error to omit
`-mcf-branch-label-scheme=unlabeled`.

Context:

When using forward-edge control flow integrity feature based on the
RISC-V Zicfilp extension, the `-mcf-branch-label-scheme` option selects
the encoding scheme used in the landing pad labels. The spec defines 2
schemes: `func-sig` and `unlabeled`, with the former specified as the
default. However the `func-sig` backend is still under active
development and won't land anytime soon; in the meanwhile, the
`unlabeled` scheme almost has complete support in the toolchain now.

Given that Clang currently accepts and defaults to
`-mcf-branch-label-scheme=func-sig` but doesn't work correctly, we want
to formally forbid the user from using
`-mcf-branch-label-scheme=func-sig` for now until the `func-sig` scheme
is properly supported. We choose to do so by forcing the user to specify
`-mcf-branch-label-scheme=unlabeled` (instead of changing the default to
`unlabeled`) so the default of `func-sig` can be retained according to
the spec and build scripts targeting the current Clang can be
forward-compatible with the Clang that supports the complete `func-sig`
scheme.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
