Branch protection uses PAC. It cryptographically "signs" a function's return address before it is stored on the stack. Upon return, the address is authenticated using a secret key. If the signature is invalid, the program will fault.
The PIE code is used for the parasite and the restorer. In both cases, it runs in a foreign process. The case of the restorer is even trickier because it needs to restore the original PAC keys, which invalidates all previously "signed" pointers within the restorer itself.
Fixes #2709
