Auto merge of #116892 - ojeda:rethunk, r=wesleywiser

Add `-Zfunction-return={keep,thunk-extern}` option

This is intended to be used for Linux kernel RETHUNK builds.

With this commit (optionally backported to Rust 1.73.0), plus a patched Linux kernel to pass the flag, I get a RETHUNK build with Rust enabled that is `objtool`-warning-free and is able to boot in QEMU and load a sample Rust kernel module.

Issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/116853.
