Implement new way of return address hijacking - #55946

Conversation
This change implements a new way of return address hijacking for Intel CET enabled Windows devices. It uses a mechanism created by the Windows team for this purpose. The existing mechanism that just patches the return address by an address of our helper routine would result in process killing as it would seem like a ROP exploit.

I don't think this is necessary, I enabled the flag for all asm files in #55942
