For backwards compatibility reasons the ptrauth_qualifier and ptrauth_intrinsic features need to be testable with __has_feature() on Apple platforms, but for other platforms this backwards compatibility issue does not exist.
This PR resolves these issues by making the ptrauth_qualifier and ptrauth_intrinsic tests conditional upon a darwin target. This also allows us to revert the ptrauth_qualifier check from an extension to a feature test again, as is required on these platforms.
At the same time we introduce a new predefined macro __PTRAUTH__ that answers the same question as __has_feature(ptrauth_qualifier) and __has_feature(ptrauth_intrinsic) as those tests are synonymous and only exist separately for compatibility reasons.
The requirement to test for the __PTRAUTH__ macro also resolves the hazard presented by mixing the ptrauth_qualifier flag (that impacts ABI and security policies) with -pedantics-errors, which makes __has_extension return false for all extensions.

Subject: [PATCH] [clang][PAC] Make ptrauth_qualifier and ptrauth_intrinsic
Darwin only features
For backwards compatibility reasons the ptrauth_qualifier and ptrauth_intrinsic
features need to be testable with __has_feature() on Apple platforms, but for
other platforms this backwards compatibility issue does not exist.
This PR resolves these issues by making the ptrauth_qualifier and
ptrauth_intrinsic tests conditional upon a darwin target. This also
allows us to revert the ptrauth_qualifier check from an extension to a
feature test again, as is required on these platforms.
At the same time we introduce a new predefined macro __PTRAUTH__
that answers the same question as __has_feature(ptrauth_qualifier)
and __has_feature(ptrauth_intrinsic) as those tests are synonymous
and only exist separately for compatibility reasons.
The requirement to test for the __PTRAUTH__ macro also resolves the
hazard presented by mixing the ptrauth_qualifier flag (that impacts
ABI and security policies) with -pedantics-errors, which makes
__has_extension return false for all extensions.
