The CHERI port of Linux, similar to CheriBSD, now uses __has_feature() to check whether the compiler supports CHERI and provides the proper flags to enable it. However, __has_feature() only exists in Clang and recent versions of GCC. Building with older GCC versions that do not define this macro will cause the Linux build to fail.

This commit adds backward compatibility for such cases by defining __has_feature() to 0.
