[baabielf64] AArch64 ELF Conventions for Binary Analysis. (#349)
Added new alpha draft document to specify code patterns and conventions for binaries intended to improve recognition by binary analysis tools. AArch64 veneers (aka thunks, stubs or trampolines) were documented there reflecting the current implementations in ld.bfd, ld.lld, mold and go linker.

## About this document
8+
9+
The [AArch64 ELF Conventions for Binary Analysis](baabielf64.rst) specifies code-patterns recognised by Binary Analysis tools.
10+
11+
## About the license
12+
13+
As identified more fully in the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file, this project
14+
is licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0 along with an additional patent
15+
license. The language in the additional patent license is largely
16+
identical to that in Apache-2.0 (specifically, Section 3 of Apache-2.0
17+
as reflected at https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) with two
18+
exceptions.
19+
20+
First, several changes were made related to the defined terms so as to
21+
reflect the fact that such defined terms need to align with the
22+
terminology in CC-BY-SA-4.0 rather than Apache-2.0 (e.g., changing
23+
“Work” to “Licensed Material”).
24+
25+
Second, the defensive termination clause was changed such that the
26+
scope of defensive termination applies to “any licenses granted to
27+
You” (rather than “any patent licenses granted to You”). This change
28+
is intended to help maintain a healthy ecosystem by providing
29+
additional protection to the community against patent litigation
30+
claims.
31+
32+
