    doc: Clarify __builtin_return_address [PR94891]

    The expected semantics and valid usage of __builtin_return_address is
    not clear since it exposes implementation internals that are normally
    not meaningful to portable c code.

    This documentation change tries to clarify the semantics in case the
    return address is stored in a mangled form. This affects AArch64 when
    pointer authentication is used for the return address signing (i.e.
    -mbranch-protection=pac-ret).
