[PATCH 1/2] objtool: Add --fail-on-warn

[Brendan Jackman <jackmanb@google.com>]

At present objtool only prints to the terminal when observing "fatal
warnings". This option lets you have it produce an error instead.

My use case for this is noinstr validation; so far I've never seen any
false warnings here, but it quite often detects real bugs. I'd like my
build to fail when I have those bugs.
