Description of changes
This enables the "retpoline" protection on supported compilers for hardening against spectre v2 ("Branch Target Injection") attacks.
There are comparatively few packages that are likely to be vulnerable to this kind of attack, and packages like the kernel handle these flags themselves - so this flag is mostly for the paranoid or users of "hardened" systems (what's the difference har har). Though it is a good demonstrator of how to implement platform-specific hardening flags via
hardeningUnsupportedFlagsByTargetPlatform
