objtool: Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
When a warning is associated with a function, add an option to disassemble that function. This makes it easier for reporters to submit the information needed to diagnose objtool warnings.

Objtool warnings
----------------
+NOTE: When requesting help with an objtool warning, please recreate with
+OBJTOOL_VERBOSE=1 (e.g., "make OBJTOOL_VERBOSE=1") and send the full
+output, including any disassembly below the warning, to the objtool
+maintainers.

For asm files, if you're getting an error which doesn't make sense,
first make sure that the affected code follows the above rules.
