kabi: introduce RH_KABI_ADD_MODIFIER

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2024595
Upstream Status: RHEL only

commit e8c19640a09931c05012dd9a45c28d12dc7b2a02
Author: Jiri Benc <[email protected]>
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2020 13:04:03 -0400

    This is a generalized version of RH_KABI_CONST.

    This allows RH_KABI_REPLACE_UNSAFE to be removed in a later patch.

+ * RH_KABI_ADD_MODIFIER
+ *   Adds a new modifier to a function parameter or a typedef, preserving

  * RH_KABI_DEPRECATE
  *   Mark the element as deprecated and make it unusable by modules while
  *   preserving kABI checksums.
